            Abstract : 
A geometric error correction of convergent multi-view images is proposed. Shape factors and camera parameters of the captured multi-view image are used to estimate an ideal multi-camera arrangement and its camera parameters. A correction transform of each viewpoint to reduce the geometric error is calculated based on the original and estimated camera parameters. The error-corrected multi-view image is obtained by applying the transform to the captured images. The experimental results show that the proposed method efficiently reduces the geometric error of the convergent multi-view images.
