In a wide-angle image-generating device for obtaining a developed image by
picking up a wide-angle image of about .+-.90 degrees using a reflecting
mirror having a rotary-symmetrical convex shape, and performing
computational processing, the contents of the developed image thus
obtained are tilted by the amount commensurate with the inclination of
the central rotational axis of the reflecting plane, which produces the
drawback of giving a sense of discomfort to the viewer when the central
rotational axis of the reflecting plane is tilted from a vertical
direction within a plane perpendicular to a 0-degree direction. In the
present invention, an angle sensor (12) is provided in the imaging device
for picking up a wide-angle image of about .+-.90 degrees using a
reflecting mirror (1), and the tilt within the plane perpendicular to the
0-degree direction is measured. The resulting value is used to perform
development processing and to rotate the developed image by means of the
computational processing device (11) so as to make the horizontals of the
developed image and the TV monitor (13) conform to each other.
