Image processing system, apparatus, and method

摘要

An image processing system according to an embodiment includes a stereoscopic display device, a transform unit, an image generating unit, and a display control unit. The transform unit reduces or enlarges volume data which is three-dimensional (3D) image data such that among scales of a stereoscopic image assumed to be displayed on the stereoscopic display device using a parallax image group obtained from the volume data, a scale in a depth direction on a display surface of the stereoscopic display device is substantially the same as a scale in another direction which is a direction other than the depth direction. The image generating unit generates a parallax image group by performing a rendering process on transformed volume data. The display control unit causes the parallax image group to be displayed on the stereoscopic display device.

主权项

1. An image processing system, comprising:
a stereoscopic display device; and an image processing apparatus, wherein the stereoscopic display device is configured to display a stereoscopically viewable stereoscopic image using a plurality of parallax images, and the image processing apparatus includes:
a transform circuit configured to generate transformed volume data from volume data, which is three-dimensional (3D) image data having a ratio of scale representing a scale in a depth direction with respect to a scale in other direction other than the depth direction, by reducing or enlarging at least one of the scale in the depth direction and the scale in the other direction within a range not exceeding a stereoscopic limit amount based on a scale in the depth direction of an assumed stereoscopic image assumed to be displayed on the stereoscopic display device using a parallax image group obtained by performing a rendering process on the volume data so as to maintain the ratio of scale in a stereoscopic image displayed on the stereoscopic display device using a parallax image group obtained by performing the rendering process on the transformed volume data, wherein the stereoscopic limit amount is an upper limit value of a size in a depth direction of the stereoscopically viewable stereoscopic image defined by specifications of the stereoscopic display device,an image generating circuit configured to generate a parallax image group by performing the rendering process on the transformed volume data, anda display control circuit configured to cause the parallax image group generated by the image generating circuit to be displayed on the stereoscopic display device.
