Image processing apparatus

摘要

In an image processing apparatus, images that can be comfortably viewed by a viewer with less eyestrain can be displayed on a display device. In the image processing apparatus in which a three-dimensional image and a two-dimensional image can be simultaneously displayed on a multi-screen, if the three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image are simultaneously displayed on a display device, the three-dimensional image is converted into two dimensions, and is output to be displayed on the same screen in the same dimensions. Alternatively, in the image processing apparatus in which a three-dimensional image and a two-dimensional image can be simultaneously displayed on a multi-screen, if the three-dimensional image and the two-dimensional image are simultaneously displayed on a display device, the two-dimensional image is converted into three dimensions, and is output to be displayed on the same screen in the same dimensions.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
an image processing unit which inputs video signals including both a three-dimensional video content and a two-dimensional video content from a plurality of video signal sources to be output as images after a predetermined process is performed; a display position processing unit which outputs display position information for simultaneously displaying the input video signals on a screen; a multi-screen processing unit which performs a multi-screen process to display the respective images input from the image processing unit on a display panel screen of a display device on the basis of the display position information; a 3D/2D converting unit which converts an image of a three-dimensional video content into an image of a two-dimensional video content, or converts an image of a two-dimensional video content into an image of a three-dimensional video content, and a controlling unit which controls the image processing unit, the display position processing unit, the 3D/2D converting unit and the multi-screen processing unit, wherein when the three-dimensional video content and the two-dimensional video content are displayed at the same time on the screen, the controlling unit controls the display panel screen of the display device to display, as a three-dimensional image, the three-dimensional video content on a first area of the display panel screen, and the two-dimensional video content, an image of which is converted to a three-dimensional video by the 3D/2D converting unit, on a second area of the display panel screen; and wherein a center line of a stereoscopic view for the first area of the display panel screen matches that for the second area of the display panel screen.
