<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form an image for displaying a three-dimensional image by obtaining a plurality of viewpoint images without lowering polarization performance. <P>SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus comprises: first polarization means having a first polarization region and a second polarization region for transmitting different polarized light beams; second polarization means having a third polarization region for transmitting only either transmitted light beam of the first polarization region or the second polarization region, and a whole transmission region for transmitting both transmitted light beams of the first and second polarization regions; an imaging sensor to which the transmitted light beams of the second polarization means are inputted; and an image processing section for processing an output signal of the imaging sensor. The image processing section forms parallax information reflecting a subject distance by applying a first viewpoint image based on the transmitted light beams of the whole transmission region of the second polarization means and a second viewpoint image based on the transmitted light beam of the third polarization region of the second polarization means, and forms a left-eye image and a right-eye image for displaying a three-dimensional image by image conversion processing of the first viewpoint image applying the parallax information. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
