Problems solved by technology

Also, the two cameras may show differences in performance
In short, it is already very difficult to use two cameras to generate the video signals for the left eye and the video signals for the right eye needed to generate stereoscopic images

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0023] First, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0024] (1) Configuration of image pickup device

[0025] (1-1) Image pickup device suitable for interlaced scanning

[0026] Referring to FIG. 1 , reference numeral 1 generally denotes an illustrative embodiment of an image pickup device suitable for interlaced scanning, which includes a solid-state image pickup device (hereinafter referred to as CCD) 2 having The number (1050) corresponds to twice the number of scanning lines (525) of the international television system committee (NTSC) system, the horizontal component polarizing filter 3 and the vertical component polarizing filter 4, wherein the horizontal component polarizing filter The optical sheet 3 and the vertical component polarizing filter 4 are separated from the imaging plane of the CCD 2 by a predetermined distance, and...

Abstract

An image pickup device and a stereoscopic image generation device can obtain video signals necessary for a plurality of signal channels with ease in a simple manner. Video signals of channels that correspond only to light of the first optical image and that of the second optical image can be generated by converging the horizontal component L1 of light of the first optical image from the subject transmitted by means of a horizontal component polarizing filter 3 and polarizing filters HF1, HF3, HF5, . . . to the pixels on the odd first line V1OL1, the even first line V1EL1, the odd second line V1OL2, the even second line V1EL2, . . . of CCD 2 and converging the vertical component L2 of light of the second optical image from the subject by means of a vertical component polarizing filter 4 and polarizing filters HF2, HF4, HF6, . . . to the pixels on the odd first line V2OL1, the even first line V2EL1, the odd second line V2OL2, the even second line V2EL2, . . . , of CCD 2.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an image pickup device and a stereoscopic image generating device, which can be adapted to generate video signals required by dual signal channels to generate stereoscopic images. Background technique [0002] A known video camera equipped with a solid-state image pickup device, or charge-coupled device (CCD), picks up an image of a subject and generates a video signal (see, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-312849). [0003] For a camera user to produce stereoscopic images with this type of camera, he or she needs to place the two cameras at positions separated from each other by a distance corresponding to the parallax of human eyes relative to the subject to be photographed, And the cameras are operated to generate video signals for the left eye and video signals for the right eye, respectively. [0004] When two cameras are used to generate the video signal of the left eye and the video signal of the right eye to be used to ...
