3-D IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND 3-D IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND PROGRAM AND PROGRAM-STORED RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

[PROBLEMS] A 3-D image processing method which can minimize the possibility of an undesired image being cut when a stereoscopic view-use integrated image is printed out or the like. [MEANS OF SOLVING PROBLEMS] A digital still camera (1) is used to be able to produce and record a stereoscopic view-use integrated image, which is made one sheet of image where a plurality of view-point images are arranged. First, left-view-point image data and right-view-point image data are stored in a memory by photographing repeated two times. Then, these two sheets of image data are laterally arranged to be formed into one sheet of image. This processing produces original stereoscopic view-use integrated image data. Padding areas (dummy areas) are respectively added to the top side and the bottom side of the original stereoscopic view-use integrated image data. That is, a processed image including the original stereoscopic view-use integrated image is produced.
