  • Patent number: 10438402
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a correction unit configured to execute shading correction on a first captured image and a second captured image respectively captured by a first image capturing unit and a second image capturing unit having different optical axes, respectively corresponding to a left eye and a right eye of a user, to generate a first display image and a second display image respectively. A clipping unit clips the first display image and the second display image to each include a three-dimensional view area where the user views the object in three dimensions. The correction unit executes the shading correction with a position of a center of the three-dimensional view area of the first display image and the second display image set to be at a center.

  • Patent number: 10296559
    Abstract: When a reduction instruction is given to characters contained in a character region displayed in a wrapped-display mode, the display apparatus of the present invention determines whether or not the width of the reduction-instructed character region to which the reduction instruction has been made is equal to or less than the width of the screen. When the display apparatus determines that the width of the reduction-instructed character region is equal to or less than the width of the screen, the display apparatus controls to switch the wrapped-display mode to the partial region display mode.

  • Publication number: 20180316910
    Abstract: An image display system selects at least one pixel from among a plurality of pixels of first to fourth images captured by imaging apparatuses, and embeds timestamp information into data representing the selected pixel. As the pixel in which timestamp information is embedded, a pixel which is displayed at a position which is relatively low in visibility for the user is selected so as to reduce degradation in image quality.
