Abstract: A display image is superimposed and displayed on an outside image in a preferred manner. An optical system superimposes a display image displayed on a display device onto an outside image, and leads the display image to an eye of an observer. A display control unit controls the display size and the display position of the display image on the display device so that the display image is displayed in an image superimposition region (a flat region) detected from the outside image. For example, the display control unit controls the display state of the display image in accordance with the state of the image superimposition region in the outside image. Also, the display control unit performs control to selectively display the display image in a line-of-sight region or outside the line-of-sight region in accordance with the line of sight of the observer.

Abstract: It is made possible to correct a positional gap between an optical system and an eye of an observer appropriately. Based on an eyeball position of the eye of the observer, a positional relationship between the optical system, which leads an image displayed on a display element to the eye of the observer, and the eye of the observer, that is, a positional gap therebetween is detected. Based on the positional relationship detected in such a manner, the positional relationship between the optical system and the eye of the observer is corrected. For example, the positional gap is electronically corrected by performing shift control of a position of the image displayed on the display element. Also, for example, the positional gap is mechanically corrected by performing shift control of the optical system including the display element.

Abstract: Disparity in a stereoscopic image is converted, according to features of a configuration element of an image that influences depth perception of a stereoscopic image. A disparity detecting unit 110 detects disparity from a left image L and right image R of an input image, and generates a disparity map dM. A disparity correction unit 150 corrects the disparity in the disparity map dM and generates a corrected disparity map dM?. A correction feature setting unit 130 sets the correction features in the event of performing disparity correction in the disparity correction unit 150. The image synthesizing unit 160 synthesizes the left image L and right image R of the stereoscopic image based on the corrected disparity map dM? and outputs the stereoscopic image made up of a left image L? and right image R? as an output image. Thus, a stereoscopic image having disparity according to the set correction features is output.

Abstract: The present invention relates to data structures, image processing apparatuses, image processing methods, and programs for enabling appropriate processing of video data of 3D content. Obtained content data of 3D content contains video data of 3D images, and information about a reference image size, which is a predetermined image size serving as the reference for the 3D images, and the maximum and minimum parallaxes for the reference image size. An image size detecting unit (71) detects the image size of the video data of the 3D images. If the detected image size of the 3D video data is not the same as the “reference image size,” a maximum/minimum parallax calculating unit (72) calculates the maximum and minimum parallaxes corresponding to the image size of the 3D video data. A caption adjusting unit (73) performs predetermined image processing based on the calculated maximum and minimum parallaxes, such as processing to adjust the depth positions of captions.
