Abstract

A three-dimensional (3D) image display device enables easy recognition of a 3D image by appropriately changing the popout amount of a 3D image. The display device includes a timer setting and measuring a given time over which the popout amount of a 3D image changes, a popout amount change mode memory storing information on time dependent change of the popout amount occurring over the given time, a popout amount controller producing the popout amount for each unit time based on parallax between a plurality of images, the given time, and the time dependent change information, a changing image producer producing pairs of popout-amount-changing images from the plurality of images according to a popout amount by the unit time, a 3D image producer producing a corresponding popout-amount-changing 3D image, and a display controller.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A three-dimensional image display device for displaying a three-dimensional image enabling depth perception and produced from a plurality of images acquired by imaging a subject from different viewpoints, the three-dimensional image display device comprising:
a timer unit for setting and measuring a given time over which a pop-out amount of the three-dimensional image changes;
a pop-out amount change mode memory in which information on a time-dependent cha…
