Patent number: 9609309Abstract: A stereoscopic image output system includes a stereoscopic vision output unit, an image database storage unit, and an output control unit. The stereoscopic vision is realized by outputting, from the stereoscopic vision output unit, a left-eye image and a right-eye image with parallax such that the left and right-eye images are visually recognized by the left and right eyes, respectively. Left-eye parallel projection data and right-eye parallel projection data are generated by parallel projection of a three-dimensional model using respective projection angles set for the left eye and right eye so as to produce the parallax therebetween, and stored in the database storage unit as two-dimensional drawing data. The output control unit controls an output range of the left and right-eye images. If the output range for the stereoscopic image changes, moving directions of the left-eye image and the right-eye image are individually determined by the output control unit.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Geo Technical Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyonari Kishikawa, Tsubasa Tomitaka, Masaya Ada, Tatsuji Kimura
