Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A stereoscopic image generation device that generates a stereoscopic image including a right-eye image and a left-eye image is provided. The stereoscopic image generation device includes an image enlarging/reducing unit that enlarges or reduces the right-eye image and the left-eye image which constitute stereoscopic image data, and a display control unit that performs control to display a stereoscopic image by showing the right-eye image and the left-eye image of the stereoscopic image data for a right eye and a left eye, respectively. The image enlarging/reducing unit enlarges or reduces the right-eye image and the left-eye image on the basis of parallax amount adjustment information, which includes a position of a right-eye-image reference point and a position of a left-eye-image reference point which are respectively provided at different positions for the right-eye image and the left-eye image, and enlargement ratios of the right-eye image and the left-eye image, with reference to the right-eye-image reference point and the left-eye-image reference point. Accordingly, a position in the depth direction can be easily controlled while adjusting a parallax.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A stereoscopic image generation device that generates a stereoscopic image including a right-eye image and a left-eye image, comprising: an image enlarging/reducing circuitry that enlarges or reduces the right-eye image and the left-eye image which constitute stereoscopic image data, wherein the image enlarging/reducing circuitry enlarges or reduces the right-eye image and the left-eye image on the basis of parallax amount adjustment information, whi…
