Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A stereoscopic image display apparatus includes: an image data acquiring unit which acquires two pieces of image data having horizontal parallax; a composition unit which generates display data by composing the two pieces of image data; a line image overlapping unit which overlaps two longitudinal line images with an image based on the display data, and independently moves the two longitudinal line images in a horizontal direction; a parallax information derivation unit which derives parallax information about parallax between the two longitudinal line images; a parallax information overlapping unit which additionally overlaps the parallax information with the image based on the display data; and a display unit which displays the images based on the display data, on which the longitudinal line images and the parallax information are overlapped, such that a producer may easily and accurately identify parallax of each subject image in the display data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A stereoscopic image display apparatus comprising: an image data acquiring unit which acquires right eye image data and left eye image data having horizontal parallax; a composition unit which generates display data by composing the the right eye image data and the left eye image data; a line image overlapping unit which overlaps two longitudinal line images, which are right eye longitudinal line image and left eye longitudinal line image, extending in a…
