PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a device compositing moving image in consideration of the front/rear relation and the overlapped part of plural subjects by providing respectively specific coordinate conversion means, an image deforming means, a plotting judging means and a frame memory so as to display an image from the point of view different from that at the time of photographing. SOLUTION: A coordinate transforming means 3 inputs the moving image object of two subjects and respectively calculates depth value in a virtual camera and a deformed area corresponding to divided area concerning the divided areas of the subject of each moving image object. An image deforming means 4 deforms the divided area on each inputted moving image object based on the calculated depth value and deformed area so as to correct a luminance value. A plotting judging means 6 judges whether pixels within the deformed area are to be plotted or not on the depth value of the deformed area in the virtual camera. The frame memory 5 stores the luminance value of pixels judged to be plotted.
