Abstract
An image processing apparatus inputs stereoscopic images, detects a depth of each of the inputted stereoscopic images, lays out the stereoscopic images at least in partial overlap in such a manner that the lager the depth is, the more forward the corresponding stereoscopic image is placed, and records the stereoscopic images having been laid out.
Claims8
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- stereoscopic image input means for inputting a plurality of stereoscopic images;
- depth detection means for detecting a depth of each of the stereoscopic images inputted by the stereoscopic image input means;
- stereoscopic image arrangement means for laying out the stereoscopic images at least in partial overlap in such a manner that the larger the depth detected by the depth detection means is, the more forward the corresponding image is placed;
- and
- image recording means for recording the stereoscopic images laid out by the stereoscopic image arrangement means.

An image processing apparatus comprising:
- stereoscopic image input means for inputting a plurality of stereoscopic images;
- stereoscopic image arrangement means for laying out the stereoscopic images inputted by the stereoscopic image input means at least in partial overlap in an arbitrary order;
- depth adjustment means for adjusting a depth of each of the stereoscopic images to cause the depth to become larger as the corresponding stereoscopic image is placed more forward by the stereoscopic image arrangement means;
- and
- image recording means for recording the stereoscopic images laid out in a state where the depth has been adjusted by the depth adjustment means.

An image display apparatus comprising:
- stereoscopic image input means for inputting a plurality of stereoscopic images;
- depth detection means for detecting a depth of each of the stereoscopic images inputted by the stereoscopic image input means;
- stereoscopic image arrangement means for laying out the stereoscopic images at least in partial overlap in such a manner that the larger the depth detected by the depth detection means is, the more forward the corresponding image is placed;
- and
- stereoscopic image display means for displaying the stereoscopic images laid out by the stereoscopic image arrangement means.

An imaging apparatus comprising:
- imaging means for obtaining each pair of image data sets by photographing a subject from different viewpoints;
- stereoscopic image generation means for generating each stereoscopic image by calculating a distance to each part of the subject based on the corresponding pair of image data sets obtained by the imaging means;
- depth detection means for detecting a depth of each of the stereoscopic images generated by the stereoscopic image generation means;
- stereoscopic image arrangement means for laying out the stereoscopic images at least in partial overlap in such a manner that the larger the depth detected by the depth detection means is, the more forward the corresponding image is placed;
- and
- image recording means for recording the stereoscopic images laid out by the stereoscopic image arrangement means.
