Problems solved by technology

That is, in this case, the subject exceeds the cropping range, and a suitable integrated image cannot be obtained from the cropped image
[0019] In addition, when reproducing and outputting an image clipped along the dotted line trimming position indicated by symbol 17h, the sense of depth of the fused image is extremely large, and there is also the problem of exceeding the set maximum jump amount.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0046] exist figure 1 Among them, the electronic camera is constituted by a camera main body 1, a lens unit 5 having a lens barrel, and a stereo adapter 10 for shooting stereo images. In the electronic camera, a mirror-type stereo adapter 10 is detachably attached to the lens unit 5 . The stereo adapter 10 is configured by disposing mirrors 11 and 12 at positions approximately different from each other by a parallax distance, and further disposing mirrors 13 and 14 for guiding light reflected by these mirrors 11 and 12 to the camera side.

[0047] The light passing through the reflectors 11, 13 and reflectors 12, 14 in the stereo adapter 10 is guided to the exposure control mechanism 22 via the photographic lens group 21 in the lens unit 5, and then to the transflector in the camera body 1. Mirror 31.

[0048] The lens unit 5 is configured to include a photographic lens group 21 , an exposure control mechanism 22 , a lens drive mechanism 23 , a lens driver 24 , and an expos...

Abstract

When stereoscopic image data based on monocular images of one object created by setting a predetermined parallax is generated, a metadata creating section creates additional data on the stereoscopic image data, and an image file creating section creates also information on the date and time when the additional data is created or updated. Information on the date and time when the additional data iscreated or updated and information on the date and time when an image file is created or updated are further added and converted into a file of a predetermined file format to thus create an image file. When a device compatible with 3D reproduces an image, it is judged whether or not information on the date and time of the additional data agrees with those of the image file. If not, it is assumedthat a stereoscopic image is retouched and edited by a device or software incompatible with 3D, continuation of reproduction is prohibited, the additional data is made invalid, and a warning is made.Thus, reproduction using metadata having no correlation with image data is prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image processing device, an image processing / editing device, an image file reproducing device, an image processing method, an image processing / editing method, and an image file reproducing method suitable for shooting and editing stereoscopic images. Background technique [0002] Various proposals have been made regarding the way of photographically recording images including stereoscopic information and reproducing them for observation. Among them, the so-called binocular stereo system records two images with parallax corresponding to the viewpoints of the left and right eyes, and presents them to the left and right eyes respectively. This method greatly contributes to realizing the simplest and cheapest effect due to its structure. So apply from the past to the present. [0003] In this binocular stereo method, although there is a restriction that only one person can observe it at the same time for so-called perso...
