Data Structure, Image Processing Apparatus, Image Processing Method, and Program

An image processing method performed by an image processing apparatus including an obtaining unit for obtaining image data and a generating unit, the method comprising the steps of:

• causing the obtaining unit to obtain the image data of a left eye image and a right eye image of a 3D content that has no black border inserted thereto, a black border width according to a parallax amount in a periphery of a right image frame between the left eye image and the right eye image, and a black border width according to a parallax amount in a periphery of a left image frame between the left eye image and the right eye image;
• and
• causing the generating unit for generating a border-attached left eye image and a border-attached right eye image by inserting an image having the obtained black border width according to the parallax amount in the periphery of the right image frame and an image having the obtained black border width according to the parallax amount in the periphery of the left image frame into the left eye image and the right eye image.

A program for causing a computer to execute a processing comprising the steps of

• obtaining image data of a left eye image and a right eye image of a 3D content that has no black border inserted thereto, a black border width according to a parallax amount in a periphery of a right image frame between the left eye image and the right eye image, and a black border width according to a parallax amount in a periphery of a left image frame between the left eye image and the right eye image;
• and
• generating a border-attached left eye image and a border-attached right eye image by inserting an image having the obtained black border width according to the parallax amount in the periphery of the right image frame and an image having the obtained black border width according to the parallax amount in the periphery of the left image frame into the left eye image and the right eye image.
