| 20100149321 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus includes an input unit, a computing unit, a determining unit, and a 3D image processor. The input unit receives filter width information indicating the vertical size of each line constituting a polarizing filter, as well as position correction information indicating positional misalignment of the polarizing filter. The computing unit computes determination regions for each pixel on the basis of the information. The determination regions are used to determine whether individual pixels constituting a 3D image to be output are contained in a right-eye or a left-eye image region. On the basis of the determination regions, the determining unit determines whether each pixel is contained in a right-eye image region or a left-eye image region. The 3D image processor creates a 3D image from a right-eye image and a left-eye image according to pixel positions determined on the basis of determination results. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110157160 | Three-Dimensional Image Generating Device, Three-Dimensional Image Display Device, Three-Dimensional Image Generating Method, and Program - Provided is a three-dimensional image generating device including: a depth setting portion configured to set a depth of each pixel or pixel group of a two-dimensional image, from which a stereoscopic view image is formed, from depth-degree information indicating a depth degree of each pixel or pixel group of the two-dimensional image; a coordinate calculating portion configured to calculate coordinates of a left eye image and a right eye image of a three-dimensional image on a display plane corresponding to each pixel or pixel group of the two-dimensional image from the depth and a distance from the display plane to a viewing position; and an image generating portion configured to generate the left eye image and the right eye image corresponding to the two-dimensional image according to the calculated coordinates. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110182498 | Image Processing Apparatus, Image Processing Method, and Program - An image processing apparatus includes a viewing situation analyzing unit configured to obtain information representing a user's viewing situation of 3D content stored in a certain storage unit, and, based on a preset saving reference in accordance with a viewing situation of 3D content, determine a data reduction level of content data of the 3D content stored in the storage unit; and a data conversion unit configured to perform data compression of the content data of the 3D content stored in the storage unit in accordance with the determined data reduction level. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110187834 | RECORDING DEVICE AND RECORDING METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A recording device includes an image acquiring section which acquires 3D image data, a filming condition acquiring section which acquires filming condition information indicating filming conditions during filming of the 3D image data, and a recording controlling section which causes a recording medium to record the 3D image data and the filming condition information by making the data and the information correspond to each other. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110254919 | DATA STRUCTURE, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus includes: an acquisition mechanism acquiring image data of a 3D image including a left-eye image and a right-eye image, and superimposed-area information being information on a superimposed area included in the left-eye image and the right-eye image; and a disparity detection mechanism detecting an amount of disparity in an area excluding the superimposed area identified by the superimposed-area information of the left-eye image and the right-eye image. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110254925 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus includes a first acquiring unit, a second acquiring unit, and a correction processor. The first acquiring unit acquires an intended viewing environment parameter, which is a parameter of an intended viewing environment, together with image data of a three-dimensional picture. The second acquiring unit acquires an actual viewing environment parameter, which is a parameter of an actual viewing environment for a user viewing the three-dimensional picture. The correction processor corrects the three-dimensional picture in accordance with a difference between the acquired intended viewing environment parameter and the acquired actual viewing environment parameter. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110254926 | Data Structure, Image Processing Apparatus, Image Processing Method, and Program - A reproduction apparatus reproduces image data of a left eye image and a right eye image of a 3D content recorded in a recording medium. The recording medium stores information about black border widths according to each parallax amount in periphery of right and left image frames between the left eye image and the right eye image. A post processing unit generates and outputs a border-attached left eye image and a border-attached right eye image by inserting an image having the obtained black border width according to the parallax amount in the periphery of the right image frame and an image having the obtained black border width according to the parallax amount in the periphery of the left image frame into the left eye image and the right eye image. The present invention can be applied to an image processing apparatus for processing image data of 3D images. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20120044246 | Image Processing Device, Method, and Program - Systems and methods are disclosed for processing a stereoscopic image. In one embodiment, an apparatus has an image-reception unit receiving first and second images, an analyzer unit determining a value of at least one parameter of the images, and a comparison unit. The comparison unit may be configured to compare the at least one parameter value to a threshold and to generate a command for displaying the first and second images as a stereoscopic image, if the at least one parameter value meets the threshold. | 02-23-2012 |
