Three-dimensional image processing device, and three-dimensional image processing method

An image processing method for visually expressing a special effect by subjecting raw data that has been acquired by imaging to image processing, and creating image data that is capable of being viewed stereoscopically, comprising:

• tone converting the raw data;
• carrying out at least one of clipping image data that has been tone converted by the tone conversion section as image data to be viewed stereoscopically, or geometric processing, and creating three dimensional image data;
• and
• subjecting the three-dimensional image data to special image processing to apply a special effect that is analogous to an image that has been formed optically or a special effect that is analogous to an image formed by photographic film or by development and printing processing, and creating a three-dimensional special-effect image;
• wherein the special image processing is at least one selected from the group consisting of cross filter processing, soft focus processing, noise addition processing, shading processing, peripheral brightening processing, and miniature effect processing;
• and
• the special effect image processing carries out the special image processing on each image data, among a plurality of image data for creating the three-dimensional image data, on the basis of an image data position corresponding to a specified position of one image data that is made a reference, and the position of the image data is within a specified range from a position of a subject image of the reference image data corresponding to the specified position.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a three-dimensional image processing program for execution on a computer, for visually expressing a special effect by subjecting raw data that has been acquired by imaging to image processing, and creating image data that is capable of being viewed stereoscopically, the program comprising:

• tone converting the raw data;
• carrying out at least one of clipping image data that has been tone converted by the tone conversion section as image data to be viewed stereoscopically, or geometric processing, and creating three dimensional image data;
• and
• subjecting the three-dimensional image data to special image processing to apply a special effect that is analogous to an image that has been formed optically or a special effect that is analogous to an image formed by photographic film or by development and printing processing, and creating a three-dimensional special-effect image;
• wherein the special image processing is at least one selected from the group consisting of cross filter processing, soft focus processing, noise addition processing, shading processing, peripheral brightening processing, and miniature effect processing;
• and
• the special effect image processing carries out the special image processing on each image data, among a plurality of image data for creating the three-dimensional image data, on the basis of an image data position corresponding to a specified position of one image data that is made a reference, and the position of the image data is within a specified range from a position of a subject image of the reference image data corresponding to the specified position.
