IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

An image clipping unit clips a region on an input image where a virtual image subjected to touch operation by a user is displayed to obtain a clipped image, and a distance calculating unit performs stereo-matching on left and right clipped images to obtain a distance to each of objects on the clipped image. A touch coordinate calculating unit obtains a touch position of the user based on information of the distance, and a touch processing unit performs processing according to the touch position. A short distance image separating unit separates the object existing closer to the user side than the virtual image from the clipped image, using the information, to obtain a short distance image. The short distance image is combined with the virtual image, and the virtual image after the combining is combined with the input image to be displayed.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
an image clipping unit configured to clip a predetermined region in a vicinity of a region where a virtual image to be operated is displayed, from two or more input images having respective parallaxes, to generate clipped images; a distance calculating unit configured to calculate distance information of an object in each region of the clipped images based on two or more of the clipped images; a touch position calculating unit configured to calculate a touch position of a user on the virtual image based on the distance information; a touch processing unit configured to cause processing according to the touch position to be performed; a short distance image separating unit configured to separate, for each of the clipped images, a region of the object that exists closer than the virtual image from the clipped image based on the distance information to generate a short distance image; a virtual image combining unit configured to combine, for each of the short distance images, the short distance image with the virtual image to generate a composite image; and a display image combining unit configured to combine, for each of the composite images, the composite image with the input image to generate two output images having respective parallaxes.
