| 20090091612 | Stereoscopic Image Reproducing Device and Method, Stereoscopic Image Reproducing Program, And Recording Medium Having The Program Recorded Therein - The present invention is directed to a stereo image processing apparatus adapted for performing stereoscopic reproduction of images without depending upon header information of file to have ability to recover or restore header information for stereoscopic display which has been broken or missing, which includes an image input unit ( | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090109281 | Method, Device and Program for Processing Stereoscopic Images and Recording Medium Storing the Program - A stereoscopic image processing method capable of preventing occurrence of undesirable cutout of image when a stereoscopic combined image is printed out is provided. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090110266 | STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD, STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM HAVING THE PROGRAM RECORDED THEREIN - The present invention is directed to a stereo image processing apparatus adapted for generating stereo images which permit, at a glance, discrimination of a suitable observation method. This stereo image processing apparatus includes an image input unit ( | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090128622 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE - In 3D information creation means | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090263007 | Stereoscopic image recording device and program - If horizontal viewpoint quantity information Nx and vertical viewpoint quantity information Ny are predetermined quantities, a value of the aspect ratio of the output image data to be finally output satisfies a predetermined condition, and a 3D identification mark is contained in the output image data, then an image recording device adds a first extension as general-purpose 3D image data which can also be used in a conventional device and records it. Accordingly, when 3D image data is output (displayed and printed) in a conventional device, image data which can be used as 3D image data (which can be viewed as a stereoscopic image) can be output as general-purpose image data while image data which cannot be used as 3D image data in the conventional device is not output as image data. This prevents a confusion of general users. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090273663 | IMAGE FILE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FILE REPRODUCTION APPARATUS AND IMAGE FILE WORKING/EDITING APPARATUS - The present invention is provided with: a stereo image data generation unit for generating stereo image data indicating multiple monocular images obtained with a predetermined parallax between the images for a same subject; a metadata generation unit for generating metadata about the stereo image data; an image characteristic information generation unit for generating image characteristic information showing characteristics of an image indicated on the basis of the stereo image data; and an image file generation unit for synthesizing the stereo image data generated by the stereo image data generation unit and the metadata generated by the metadata generation unit to generate an image file; wherein the image file generation unit adds the image characteristic information generated by the image characteristic information generation unit to the metadata generated by the metadata generation unit. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20080198219 | 3D Image file, photographing apparatus, image reproducing apparatus, and image processing apparatus - A photographing apparatus has two binocular stereoscopic modes. In two-take photography mode, a 3D image file is generated from left and right monocular images acquired by performing monocular photographing twice, and the 3D image file thus generated is recorded. In one-take photography mode, a 3D image file is generated from left and right monocular images acquired by performing binocular photographing once, and the 3D image file thus generated is recorded. When the 3D image file is recorded, a homogeneity tag is recorded in 3D metadata, as tag information of the header data portion of the 3D image file. The homogeneity tag is information about the homogeneity of the two monocular images and describes whether the two monocular images have been acquired in the one-take photography mode in which monocular images highly homogeneous are provided, or in the two-take photography mode in which monocular images not so homogeneous are provided. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080309755 | Image outputting apparatus and program - An operation unit switches the operating mode between a 3D display output mode in which the images of the 3D image file are displayed as a stereoscopic images and a 2D display output mode in which one of the images of the 3D image file is displayed as an ordinary planar image. The 3D image file is composed of stereoscopic image data which represents a plurality of monocular images constituting a multi-ocular stereoscopic image and information which is added to the stereoscopic image data and which indicates that the data is stereoscopic data. In the 2D display output mode, a control unit makes an output unit display an image of the 3D image file read from a medium by a media reader and also display a mark on the same screen, indicating that the image displayed in the 2D display output mode is based on the 3D image file. | 12-18-2008 |
