Image processing device and method, and stereoscopic image display device

摘要

A method, computer readable medium and apparatus that can produce a depth image based on a first image of a scene from a first viewpoint and a second image of the scene from a second viewpoint. The first and second viewpoints are displaced along a first dimension. A third image and a fourth image are produced based on the depth image. The third and fourth images correspond to third and fourth viewpoints, respectively. The third and fourth viewpoints are displaced along a second dimension different from the first dimension.

主权项

1. An image processing device comprising:
a recording medium storing computer executable instructions; and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform the following steps: calculating a depth amount of a stereoscopic display expressed by a first image and a second image that have parallax in a first direction, based on the first image and the second image; and generating a third image and a fourth image that have parallax in a second direction different from the first direction, based on the depth amount, wherein the generating includes: using the first image in an original image state as the third image, adding parallax in the second direction to the first image based on the depth amount to generate a first temporary image based on the first image, adding parallax in the second direction to the second image based on the depth amount to generate a second temporary image based on the second image, and synthesizing the first temporary image and the second temporary image to generate the fourth image.
