Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Example stereoscopic image photographing apparatuses and methods are disclosed. A disclosed example stereoscopic image photographing apparatus includes a shutter unit including a first region and a second region that are defined based on a gravity direction as an absolute basis regardless of an arrangement of the stereoscopic image photographing apparatus. A first image signal is generated by converting a first optical signal input through a first region of the shutter unit, and a second image signal is generated by converting a second optical signal input through the second region. In addition, a stereoscopic image is generated using the first image signal and the second image signal. Thus, a stereoscopic image with a difference between right and left views may be generated regardless of an orientation of the stereoscopic image photographing apparatus.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A stereoscopic image photographing apparatus comprising: an optical unit to receive an optical signal representing a subject; a shutter unit to alternately shut a path of the optical signal in accordance with a first region and a second region; and an imaging unit to generate a first image signal by converting a first optical signal transmitted through the first region, and to generate a second image signal by converting a second optical signal transmitt…
