Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: an acquisition mechanism acquiring image data of a 3D image including a left-eye image and a right-eye image, and superimposed-area information being information on a superimposed area included in the left-eye image and the right-eye image; and a disparity detection mechanism detecting an amount of disparity in an area excluding the superimposed area identified by the superimposed-area information of the left-eye image and the right-eye image.
Claims8
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition means for acquiring image data of a 3D image including a left-eye image and a right-eye image, and superimposed-area information being information on a superimposed area included in the left-eye image and the right-eye image;
- and
- a disparity detection means for detecting an amount of disparity in an area excluding the superimposed area identified by the superimposed-area information of the left-eye image and the right-eye image.
A method of processing an image by an image processing apparatus performing image processing of a 3D image including a left-eye image and a right-eye image, the method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring image data of the 3D image and superimposed-area information being information on a superimposed area included in the left-eye image and the right-eye image;
- and
- detecting an amount of disparity in an area excluding the superimposed area identified by the superimposed-area information of the left-eye image and the right-eye image.
A program for causing a computer to perform processing comprising the steps of:
- acquiring image data of the 3D image including a left-eye image and a right-eye image, and superimposed-area information being information on a superimposed area included in the left-eye image and the right-eye image;
- and
- detecting an amount of disparity in an area excluding the superimposed area identified by the superimposed-area information of the left-eye image and the right-eye image.
A data structure for content data of a 3D content, comprising:
- image data of a 3D image including a left-eye image and a right-eye image;
- and
- superimposed-area information being information on a superimposed area included in the left-eye image and the right-eye image.
