Embodiment approach 1

[0022] In FIG. 1 , an electronic camera includes a camera body 1 , a lens unit 5 having a lens barrel, and a stereo adapter 10 for shooting stereo images. A mirror-type stereo adapter 10 of an electronic camera is detachably attached to the lens unit 5 . The stereo adapter 10 is configured by arranging mirrors 11 and 12 at a distance of about parallax, and further disposing mirrors 13 and 14 for guiding light reflected by these mirrors 11 and 12 to the camera side.

[0023] The light passing through the mirrors 11, 13 and the mirrors 12, 14 in the stereo adapter 10 is guided to the exposure control mechanism 22 through the photographing lens group 21 in the lens unit 5, and then to the transflector in the camera body 1. Mirror 31.

[0024] The lens unit 5 has a photographic lens group 21 , an exposure control mechanism 22 , a lens drive mechanism 23 , a lens driver 24 , and an exposure control driver 25 .

[0025] The photographic lens group 21 is the main imaging optical sy...

Embodiment approach 2

[0064] As described above, the two fusion support figures respectively provided for the left and right monocular images are formed in a shape corresponding to the depth direction in the fusion image or the like. For example, the fusion support graphics themselves may be configured to be viewed stereoscopically.

[0065] Fig. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an image pattern of a character "T" when a three-dimensional character string "STREO" is used as a fusion support pattern. As shown in FIG. 6 , the relative positional relationship of the graphics on the surface of the character T (the portion without oblique lines in FIG. 6 ) with respect to the left and right monocular images is different from each other. On the other hand, the relative positions of the unillustrated backside figures of the character T with respect to the left and right monocular images are the same. That is, the back figure of the character T is positioned on the frame plane as the reference position...

Abstract

An integrated image and monovision images are easily discriminated from each other and fusion is effectively supported. An image processing apparatus includes collateral image setting means 50a for setting collateral images on a plurality of monocular images on the same subject obtained with a given parallax at partial or overall edge sides of the plurality of monocular images, image pattern setting means 50a for setting image patterns on the respective monocular images of the plurality of monocular images for placement on the respective collateral images in given relative positional relationships, respectively, and integrated image generating section 50b supplied with the plurality of monocular images for generating one integrated image on the basis of the plurality of monocular images and the collateral images placed with the image patterns.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing device suitable for an electronic camera or the like that captures a stereoscopic image. Background technique [0002] Various proposals have been made for a method of capturing and recording an image including stereoscopic information, and reproducing and observing it. Among them, the so-called binocular stereo system, which records two images having parallax corresponding to the viewpoints of the left and right eyes, and presents the two images to the left and right eyes respectively, has the simplest structure and has a significant effect at low cost. It has been used in the past until today. [0003] In this binocular stereo method, for the so-called personal application, the stereo pair image method is adopted. Although this method has the restriction that only one person can observe at the same time, it is the most basic and classical method. An extremely low-cost way to observe clear images ...
