Publication number: 20110242099Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a reproduction control unit inputting single viewpoint images and multi viewpoint images and generating output data to be output to a display unit. In a case where the display unit performs display in a multi viewpoint image display mode, the reproduction control unit generates and outputs the output data in which each viewpoint image forming the multi viewpoint image is developed at a development position of each viewpoint image defined according to a multi viewpoint image transmission format when outputting the multi viewpoint images. The reproduction control unit generates and outputs the output data in which the same single viewpoint image is developed at the development position of each viewpoint image defined according to the multi viewpoint image transmission format when outputting the single viewpoint images.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2011Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: Sony CorporationInventors: Takuya ARAI, Yasuhito Shikata, Kimu Higashimoto
