Device and method for generating stereoscopic image

摘要

A rotation angle obtaining unit obtains an angle by which a stereoscopic image of a subject is to be rotated around a line-of-sight direction. A multi-viewpoint image accumulation unit accumulates a plurality of images of the subject obtained in one direction by changing capturing positions, as multi-viewpoint images. A selection unit selects base images for the stereoscopic image from the multi-viewpoint images accumulated in the multi-viewpoint image accumulation unit, based on the rotation angle. A rotation unit rotates the selected base images based on the rotation angle to generate images which are to form the stereoscopic image of the subject.

1. A stereoscopic image generation device comprising:
a multi-viewpoint image storage including a plurality of stored images, the plurality of stored images being images of a subject captured at different positions; a rotation angle obtaining unit configured to obtain a rotation angle at which a stereoscopic image of the subject is to be rotated around a line-of-sight direction; a selection unit configured to select two base images from the plurality of stored images, the two base images being determined based on the rotation angle; and a rotation unit configured to rotate the two base images at the rotation angle, thereby generating images which are to form the stereoscopic image of the subject rotated at the rotation angle, wherein the selection unit determines first capturing positions based on the rotation angle, and selects, from the plurality of stored images, the two base images captured at second capturing positions that are within a predetermined range from the first capturing positions in a direction perpendicular to a parallax direction in the stereoscopic image.
