Stereoscopic shooting device

摘要

A stereoscopic shooting device includes: a first shooting section that obtains a first image; a second shooting section that outputs a second image; an angle of view matching section that cuts image portions to have the same angle of view from the first and second images; a parallax information generating section that generates parallax information indicating parallax between the two image portions; a reliability information generating section that generates reliability information indicating the degree of reliability of the parallax information based on at least one of the first and second images and the parallax information; and an image generating section that generates, based on the parallax information and the first image, a third image that forms, with the first image, stereoscopic images. The parallax information generating section corrects the parallax information based on the reliability information.

主权项

1. A stereoscopic shooting device comprising:
a first shooting section having an optical zoom function and being configured to obtain a first image by shooting a subject, the optical zoom function affecting an angle of view of the first image; a second shooting section configured to obtain a second image by shooting the subject; and an image signal processor configured to process the first and second images, the image signal processor including:
an angle of view matching section configured to cut respective image portions that would have the same angle of view out of the first and second images;a parallax information generating section configured to generate parallax information indicating parallax between the two image portions that have been found by the angle of view matching section to have the same angle of view;a reliability information generating section configured to generate reliability information indicating the degree of reliability of the parallax information based on at least one of the first and second images and the parallax information; andan image generating section configured to generate, based on the parallax information and the first image, a third image that forms, along with the first image, a pair of stereoscopic images, and wherein the parallax information generating section is configured to correct the parallax information by reference to the reliability information, and the image generating section is configured to generate, when the parallax information has been corrected, the third image based on the corrected parallax information.
