Embodiment

[0036] Configuration example of the image processing device of the embodiment

[0037] Figure 6is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of an image processing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] Figure 6 The image processing device 30 includes a disparity detection section 31 , a subtitle control section 32 , a subtitle image creation section 33 and an image synthesis section 34 . The image processing device 30 outputs a 3D main image on an input picture basis by superimposing a subtitle image, which is an image for representing a subtitle, on a picture basis.

[0039] Specifically, the parallax detection section 31 of the image processing device 30 receives a 3D main image including a left-eye main image and a right-eye main image on a screen basis from the outside. The parallax detection section 31 detects the number of pixels representing the difference (parallax) between the display positions in the horizontal dire...

Abstract

Disclosed are an image processing apparatus, an image conversion method and a program. The image processing apparatus includes: a determining unit that determines, based on parallax of a 3D main image including a left-eye main image and a right-eye main image, parallax of a sub-image overlapped with the 3D main image and determines a zoom-in / out ratio of the sub-image based on parallax of the corresponding sub-image; a magnification / reduction processing unit that magnifies or reduces the sub-image depending on the zoom-in / out ratio; a creating unit that creates a left-eye sub-image and a right-eye sub-image by shifting the sub-image in left and right directions based on the parallax of the sub-image; and a synthesizing unit that synthesizes, for each eye, the left-eye main image and the right-eye main image with the left-eye sub-image and the right-eye sub-image created by magnifying / reducing and shifting the sub-image in left and right directions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing device, an image conversion method, and a program, and more particularly, to an image processing device, an image conversion method, and a program capable of enabling viewers to always feel that a three-dimensional 3D main image has the same size when superimposed and displayed sub-images (such as subtitles) without depending on the display position in the depth direction of the sub-images. Background technique [0002] Recently, as 3D movies using a binocular stereoscopic view are promoted, environments for reproducing 3D contents on consumer electronic devices are also developing. Under such circumstances, a method for displaying a sub-image such as a subtitle or a menu screen overlapping a main image in a 3D movie or the like begins to be problematic. [0003] For example, there has been proposed an image processing apparatus for multiplexing a display position in a depth direction perpendicular ...
