Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In an image processing system according to an embodiment, to generate an arbitrary parallax number of multi-parallax images from each piece of continuous time-phase volume data, a first parallax image generation control unit performs control so as to generate a parallax image arranged at a predetermined position in arrangement of a parallax image group corresponding to the multi-parallax images with respect to a pixel on a display unit from every arbitrary time-phase volume data. A second parallax image generation control unit performs control so as to generate a parallax image arranged at a different position from the predetermined position in the arrangement from volume data of a different time phase from the time phase in which the parallax image arranged at the predetermined position is controlled to be generated. A display control unit displays a parallax image group controlled to be generated on the display unit in time-phase order.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image processing system comprising: circuitry configured to perform as a first parallax image generation control unit configured to perform control so as to generate parallax images of every other point-of-view position in a parallax image group to be an image group which is generated by performing a volume rendering process on volume data while sequentially changing the point-of-view position by a predetermined parallactic angle from every other time-ph…
