Patent number: 8902290Abstract: The data processing unit generates image data such that the camera unit is caused to acquire a plurality of data captured with a focal length changed in response to instructions for imaging operation by an operation unit and three-dimensional display data are generated from the plurality of captured data based on the correlation of focused images which are different according to the focal lengths of the acquired plurality of captured data with the focal length thereof. Since each of the plurality of data captured with a focal length changed is different in a focused image according to the focal length, the plurality of captured data is subjected to the processing for generating three-dimensional display data based on the correlation of a focused image different according to the focal length with the focal length to allow the three-dimensional display data to be generated.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2012Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Yagi, Toshiaki Yamada
