Abstract

An image display apparatus, includes: a stereoscopic image obtaining unit which obtains a plurality of images having different points of view; a display unit which displays the plurality of images; a photographic subject selecting unit which selects a specific photographic subject in any one of the plurality of images; and a display controller which displays a line where a parallax amount of a first viewpoint image and a second viewpoint image among the plurality of images is zero and an anteroposterior relationship of the line where the parallax amount is zero and a position of the specific photographic subject in an optical axis direction in photographing a stereoscopic image in a partial display region of the display unit as a pseudo overhead view of the photographic subject which is seen from an upper side with respect to the optical axis in photographing the stereoscopic image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An image display apparatus, comprising:
a processor that performs the functions of a stereoscopic image obtaining unit and a photographic subject selecting unit;
said stereoscopic image obtaining unit which obtains a plurality of images having different points of view;
a display unit which displays the plurality of images obtained by the stereoscopic image obtaining unit;
said photographic subject selecting unit which selects a specific photographic subject in any one of the plurality of images; and
a display controller which displays a line where a parallax amount of a first viewpoint image and a second viewpoint image among the plurality of images is zero and an anteroposterior relationship of the line where the parallax amount is zero and a position of the specific photographic subject in an optical axis direction in photographing a stereoscopic image in a partial display region of the display unit as a pseudo overhead view of the photographic subject which is seen from an upper side with respect to the optical axis in photographing the stereoscopic image,
wherein the display controller displays a stereoscopically viewable region before and after the line where the parallax amount is zero in the pseudo overhead view.

2. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display controller displays a position of an image of the specific photographic subject as an icon on the pseudo overhead view.

3. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein when the line where the parallax amount is zero is changed by adjusting the parallax of the first viewpoint image and the second viewpoint image, the display controller updates the displaying of the pseudo overhead view.

4. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein when manipulation for checking an enlarged image in a focus region in which any one of the photographic subjects is focused is performed, the display controller updates the displaying of the pseudo overhead view in accordance with the enlarged image.

5. The image display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display controller displays a distance on the pseudo overhead view.

6. An image capturing apparatus, comprising the image display apparatus of claim 1 .

7. The image capturing apparatus of claim 6 , comprising:
a zoom lens,
wherein when zooming manipulation of the zoom lens is detected, the display controller updates the displaying of the pseudo overhead view in accordance with a zoomed amount of the zoom lens.
