3D Imaging Distance Guidance for Human-Parallax Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing imaging devices capture images with parallax angles that differ from human parallax angles, leading to a diminished three-dimensional effect when viewed on a display device compared to the actual object.
Innovation Solution
An imaging device that notifies users of an appropriate distance to an object, allowing for adjustment to capture images viewable in three dimensions by aligning the convergence angle of the imaging device with that of the human eye.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the imaging device captures images with parallax angles different from human parallax angles, then the imaging device can capture a wide range of scenes, but the three-dimensional effect when viewed on a display device is diminished
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parallax angle parameter of the imaging device to match human parallax angles. By adjusting this critical parameter, the system achieves accurate three-dimensional effects on display devices while maintaining the ability to capture wide scenes through the use of multiple optical systems with circumferential fish-eye lenses
2Device complexity
If the imaging device uses a fixed parallax angle, then the device structure is simple, but the three-dimensional viewing experience is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces adjustable parallax angles through movable optical systems or adjustable lens configurations. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the imaging device to optimize parallax angles for different shooting scenarios, providing accurate three-dimensional effects without requiring an overly complex fixed structure
3Ease of operation
If the imaging device captures images with incorrect parallax angles, then the device can operate without adjustment mechanisms, but the convergence angle does not align with human eye parallax
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that detect shooting distance and scene characteristics, then automatically adjust the parallax angle to match human eye convergence angles. This feedback loop ensures accurate three-dimensional effects while maintaining ease of operation, as the system self-adjusts without requiring manual intervention from the user

AI summary
An electronic device includes: a processor; and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device to: execute acquisition processing to acquire information on a distance from an imaging device to an object; execute control processing to control notification of a relationship between a recommended distance and the distance from the imaging device to the object, the recommended distance representing a photographing distance that enables three-dimensional viewing of a captured image containing two image regions with parallax relative to each other; and execute setting processing to set whether to display information showing the relationship between the recommended distance and the distance from the imaging device to the object.
