Apparatus and method for processing stereoscopic images

摘要

The apparatus has a stereo matching section (8) to correlate brightness between a reference pixel block picked up from a right image and a comparison pixel block picked up from a left image. The section calculates a parallax between the blocks having the correlation. A region control section (10) changes over the size of these pixel blocks based on an area in which the stereo matching is performed. An independent claim is also included for a stereoscopic image processing method.
