IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

Provided are a device and method which generate a left-eye composite image and a right-eye composite image for three-dimensional image display with an approximately uniform baseline length, stitching together rectangular regions which are cut from a plurality of images. Rectangular regions which are cut from a plurality of images are stitched together, generating a left-eye composite image and a right-eye composite image for three-dimensional image display. An image composition unit generates a left-eye composite image which is applied to three-dimensional image display by a stitching composition process of left-eye image rectangles set in each photographed image, and generates a right-eye composite image which is applied to three-dimensional image display by a stitching composition process of right-eye image rectangles set in each photographed image. The image composition unit carries out a process of setting the left-eye image rectangles and the right-eye image rectangles, changing the degree of inter-rectangle offset which is the distance between the left-eye image rectangles and the right-eye image rectangles according to image photography conditions such that the baseline length, which corresponds to the distance between photographed positions of the left-eye composite image and the right-eye composite image, is approximately uniform.
