Abstract: If there is a discrepancy between a capturing system and a display system of a stereoscopic moving image, the phenomena, such as that the contour of a motion area of an image looks double, may occur, thus posing a problem in the quality of a reproduced image. An image capturing device capturing a stereoscopic moving image includes: an image capturing unit configured to capture a right-eye moving image and a left-eye moving image constituting the stereoscopic moving image, respectively; a unit configured to set an image capturing mode corresponding to the display system of a display device displaying the stereoscopic moving image; and a synchronous signal control unit configured to supply to the image capturing unit a synchronous signal used for capturing the right-eye moving image and the left-eye moving image, respectively, and control a phase of the synchronous signal to supply in accordance with the set image capturing mode.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus and method relate to an imaging process which is applied to image data captured by an image capturing apparatus such as a multi-eye camera, multi-view camera, and the like. The image processing apparatus and method generates synthetic image data which focused on a curved focus surface by compositing multi-view image data captured from multi-viewpoints.

Abstract: Provided is a scanning instrument that can obtain information about position and inclination of a central axis of an implant fixture used for an implant bridge with a high accuracy. A scanning instrument (10, 110) to be attached to an analog (20) that is embedded in a model, the scanning instrument comprising a main body (11, 111) having a cylindrical shape, a fixation member (12) to attach the main body to the analog, and a reference point (13) to obtain information about position and inclination of a central axis of the analog by using a pattern projection method.

Abstract: A frame rate conversion apparatus for performing frame rate conversion upon distributing an input frame into a plurality of sub-frames detects the degree of motion of an image in the input frame, determines the amount of distribution of the plurality of sub-frames in accordance with the detected degree of motion, and distributes and outputs the plurality of sub-frames in accordance with the determined amount of distribution.
