Abstract
According to one embodiment, an image processing device includes a plurality of parallax image generators. Each of the parallax image generators is configured to generate a first image and a second image based on an input image and a parameter for setting a distance between viewpoints. There is a first parallax between the first image and the second image. The first parallax depends on the parameter for setting the distance between viewpoints. The input image is inputted to the parallax image generators in common. A plurality of parameters for setting the distance between viewpoints different from each other are inputted to the parallax image generators, respectively.
Claims14
An image processing device comprising:
- a plurality of parallax-image generators each of which is configured to generate a first image and a second image based on an input image, the first image being viewed from a first viewing point away from a viewing point of the input image by a predetermined distance, the second image being viewed from a second viewing point away from the viewing point of the input image by the predetermined distance at an opposite side of the first viewing point,
- wherein the same input image is inputted to each parallax-image generator, and
- the predetermined distance differs for each parallax-image generator.
An image processing method comprising:
- inputting an input image to a plurality of parallax-image generators, such that the same input image is inputted to each parallax-image generator;
- inputting a different parameter for setting a distance between viewpoints to each of the plurality of parallax-image generators;
- with each of the plurality of parallax image generators, generating a first image and a second image based on an input image, the first image being viewed from a first viewing point away from a viewing point of the input image by a predetermined distance, the second image being viewed from a second viewing point away from the viewing point of the input image by the predetermined distance at an opposite side of the first viewing point,
- wherein the predetermined distance differs for each parallax-image generator.
