Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the above-mentioned prior art only assumes that the displayed image is enjoyed after all, so there is a problem when it is applied to an imaging device.
Specifically, when the above-mentioned conventional technology is applied to an imaging device, when the captured image is enlarged after capturing the image, an enlarged image that does not make the user feel uncomfortable cannot be displayed immediately.

Deformed example 1

[0132] Figure 23 It is a flowchart showing the outline of enlarged display processing of the imaging device according to Modification 1 of the present embodiment. exist Figure 23In this process, if the zoom switch 44 is not pressed (step S401: No), and the predetermined time has not passed (step S402: No), the imaging device 1 returns to step S401. On the other hand, when the zoom switch 44 is not pressed (step S401: No), but when the predetermined time has elapsed (step S402: Yes), the imaging device 1 returns to the main routine (Main Routine).

[0133] The case where the zoom switch 44 is pressed in step S401 (step S401: YES) will be described. At this time, when the zoom switch 44 has not been pressed for a predetermined time (step S403: No), the stereoscopic image generation unit 92 obtains the parallax between the left-eye image and the right-eye image at the center of the enlargement unit, and records it in the image data storage unit. 81 (step S404). Figure 24 (...

Deformed example 2

[0141] Figure 25 It is a diagram showing a display example of a screen displayed when the screen is enlarged by the imaging device according to Modification 2 of the present embodiment. Figure 25 The image shown in 301 is in Figure 15 In the overlapping image 201 shown, a focus confirmation icon Q3 and a 3D confirmation icon Q4 are set. When the user viewing the image 301 selects the focus confirmation icon Q3, a focus confirmation instruction signal is input. Upon input of the focus confirmation instruction signal, the display control unit 95 causes the display unit 6 to display an enlarged image for focus confirmation that is a 2D image with the center of the enlargement unit as the center of the screen. Figure 26 It is a diagram showing a display example of an enlarged image when the focus confirmation icon Q3 is selected. Figure 26 In the enlarged image 302 shown, when the face of the subject A1 is set as the center of the enlarged portion, the text “Focus Confirma...

Abstract

The invention provides an image pickup device. Due to the adoption of the device, during the magnifying process of an image shot by the device, the magnified image can be immediately displayed, while users do not feel uncomfortable. The image pickup device comprises an image pickup part used for generating two image data; a display part used for generating a three-dimensional image through combining the two image data; an input part used for receiving indication signals indicating the magnification of the displayed image; and a control part used for performing the amplification operation and generating a magnified image data through reducing the parallaxes of the two image data corresponding to the magnified image. Meanwhile, the display part displays a three-dimensional image corresponding to the generated magnified image data through the control part.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an imaging device for displaying a three-dimensional image by using two image data (Data) whose pixels correspond to each other and have a parallax (Parallax). Background technique [0002] In recent years, a plurality of digital cameras (Digital Cameras) are used to photograph the same subject from different positions to obtain a plurality of image data. Furthermore, a technique of displaying a three-dimensional image (hereinafter referred to as "3D image") that can be viewed stereoscopically by a user (User) using the parallax of corresponding pixel points included in the acquired image data is widespread. [0003] As such a technique, a technique is known in which the user inputs the ratio of enlargement or reduction of the three-dimensional image, and when the input value deviates from the parallax range in which the user can comfortably visually recognize the three-dimensional image, the parallax amount is adjusted...
