CG images are rendered using perspective projections. However, we sometimes experience discomfort while observing these images. The reason is that the perspective projection images do not represent the visual impression of real space. Therefore, human visual characteristics can contribute to obtaining more realistic CG. Thus, a magnification rate function was proposed to represent the relationship between the subjective perception of the size and viewing distance of the object to be rendered. The image to which the magnification function was applied was closer to the impression of real space than the perspective projection image. In this study, we propose a method for generating images by applying a magnification rate function to panoramic images. This method enables the reproduction of the impression a person feels in real space as an image, even if it is a panoramic image.
