  • Patent number: 9774841
    Abstract: An image for a left eye and an image for a right eye are respectively captured. A corresponding point corresponding to each of a plurality of feature points detected from the image for a left eye is searched for using the image for a right eye. The number of corresponding points found by the search is counted, and it is determined whether to be equal to or more than a predetermined ratio with respect to the number of pixels of the image for a right eye. When the number of corresponding points is determined to be less than the predetermined ratio, the image for a right eye is recaptured, and the corresponding point search process and the determination of whether the number of corresponding points is equal to or more than the predetermined ratio are re-executed using an image new for a right eye obtained by recapture.

  • Patent number: 8988423
    Abstract: Viewing of stereoscopic images is facilitated for every page of an electronic album. A page constituting an electronic album is selected. A stereoscopic image is then selected and the selected stereoscopic image is pasted in an image compositing area. An amount of parallax has been defined for the image compositing area, and the amount of parallax of the image compositing area in which the stereoscopic image has been pasted is read. The amount of parallax of the stereoscopic image is changed to that of the image compositing area.

  • Publication number: 20140210963
    Abstract: A parallax adjustment is facilitated. A stereoscopic image is displayed and the parallax between a left-viewpoint image and a right-viewpoint image, which form the stereoscopic image, is calculated. If the parallax of the stereoscopic image exceeds a prescribed allowable amount of parallax, a determination to reduce the size of the stereoscopic image is made. A parallax adjustment is carried out based upon a stereoscopic image, which has been reduced in size. Since parallax is adjusted using the stereoscopic image that has a parallax that falls within the allowable amount of parallax, parallax is easy to adjust.

  • Patent number: 8441524
    Abstract: A digital zoom rate of two-dimensional images zoomed by a digital zoom unit is obtained. When the obtained digital zoom rate is larger than 100%, at least one of the digitally zoomed two-dimensional images is modified based on an enlarged amount of parallax to provide an amount of parallax between the digitally zoomed two-dimensional images equal to the enlarged amount of parallax. The enlarged amount of parallax is obtained by enlarging, at a moderated digital zoom rate, an amount of parallax between the two-dimensional images before being digitally zoomed, and the moderated digital zoom rate is obtained by moderating the digital zoom rate at a moderation rate, where the moderation rate increases as the zoom rate increases. Then, a display unit is caused to carry out three-dimensional display based on the modified two-dimensional images.
