  • Patent number: 9363435
    Abstract: An image reduction processing section 16 includes a data acquisition section 70 that acquires whether shooting condition data is included in image capture data (including image pickup data) 30 and contents of the shooting condition data, and reduction processing discrimination unit for discriminating at least any of whether reduction association processing (such as low-pass filter processing) associated with reduction processing of generating reduced image data from the image pickup data is executed, a processing parameter (such as a cutoff frequency of low-pass filter processing) of the reduction association processing, and a processing parameter (such as a reduction ratio) of the reduction processing, on the basis of an acquisition result of the shooting condition data. The shooting condition data includes information on the presence or absence of the optical low-pass filter and information on the array of the color filters.

  • Patent number: 9350962
    Abstract: An image enlargement processing portion 16 of the image processing device includes a data acquisition section 70 which judges whether or not photographing condition data is included in the image photographing data, and for acquiring content of the photographing condition data in a case where it is judged that the photographing condition data is included in the input image photographing data, and an enlargement process determination section 72 which determines a process parameter for an enlargement process for generating enlarged image data from the imaging data, in which the photographing condition data includes information regarding presence or absence of an optical low-pass filter during creation of the imaging data or information regarding an array of color filters of an imaging portion used to create the imaging data.

  • Patent number: 8976234
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling display of a stereoscopic image, includes: a display control portion which cuts out a stereoscopic image in a to-be-displayed area which is an area corresponding to a part of a stereoscopic image consisting of a plurality of images with a parallax, and displays the cut-out stereoscopic image on a display portion; a parallax change amount calculation portion which calculates a change amount between a parallax amount in a stereoscopic image within the to-be-displayed area before the to-be-displayed area is moved and a parallax amount in a stereoscopic image within the to-be-displayed area after the to-be-displayed area is moved by a first moving distance when an instruction to move the to-be-displayed area is issued; and a to-be-displayed area movement control portion which moves the to-be-displayed area by a moving distance in accordance with the change amount calculated by the parallax change amount calculation portion.

  • Publication number: 20110090313
    Abstract: A stereo camera captures a pair of R and L viewpoint images. Upon a half press of a shutter release button, a preliminary photographing procedure is carried out. A binary image generator applies binary processing to each image, and a shadow extracting section extracts a shadow of a main subject from each binary image. A size calculating section calculates a size of each shadow, and a difference calculating section calculates a difference in size of the shadow between the images. If an absolute value of the difference is a size difference threshold value or more, the main subject is distinguished as a three-dimensional object suited to a 3D picture mode. Otherwise, the main subject is distinguished as a printed sheet suited to a 2D picture mode. Upon a full press of the shutter release button, an actual photographing procedure is carried out in the established 3D or 2D picture mode.
