An image synthesizing apparatus is disclosed which incorporates a deviation detection portion for calculating a parameter indicating the positional relationship between images obtained by photographing a subject such that the subject is divided into sections, an interpolating portion for correcting parallel translation and rotation from the parameter and the images, an exposure processing portion which calculates an exposure correction coefficient from overlap portions of the images corrected by the interpolating portion so as to correct the exposure of the images which must be connected to each other, and an image synthesizing portion for connecting and synthesizing the corrected images to one another, wherein the exposure of each image is corrected before the divided and photographed images are connected to one another so that the overall image is corrected to have natural exposure.

1. An image synthesizing apparatus for connecting divided images obtained by photographing one composition such that the one composition is divided into a plurality of sections in such manner that overlap portions between adjacent images are included so that the original composition is restored, said image synthesizing apparatus comprising:image correction means for setting at least one portion of the same subject included in each of the overlap portions of the adjacent images as specific points and subjecting data of coordinates of positions of the specific points to a comparison to estimate angles of view of the images so as to perform a geometrical deforming process in accordance with the estimated angles of view such that positional relationships of the images coincide with each other; and image synthesizing means for calculating a parallel translation distance and a rotational angle by detecting deviation of positions of a plurality of feature points in the overlap portions of the images which have been subjected to the geometrical deforming process so as to perform interpolation and connect the divided images to each other.
