The present invention is directed to a stereo image processing apparatus adapted for generating stereo images which permit, at a glance, discrimination of a suitable observation method. This stereo image processing apparatus includes an image input unit (1) for inputting plural image data constituting stereo images by the parallel method or the crossing method, and an image synthesis unit (7) for synthesizing the inputted plural image data and padding data for visually indicating whether these image data are either stereo data by the parallel method or stereo data by the crossing method in the state where corresponding areas for respective data are partitioned to output synthetic data.

A coding and decoding apparatus is constructed so that the coding side transmits coded data together with identifying information for identifying the device of decoding the coded data, and the decoding side is capable of storing a number of decoding schemes so as to perform decoding based on one of the previously stored schemes. The apparatus further has devices for storing the received tools and tool-correspondent information which numerically represents the capacities of the tools so that it can make a comparison between the decoding capacity and the processing capacities of the tools to determine the possibility of the operations of the received tools. Further, a set of the tools are hierarchized so that the coded data produced by the n-ranked tool can be decoded by the (n+1)-ranked tool. Alternatively, the tools are defined in a hierarchical manner so that the decoding tools installed in the decoding apparatus will be able to assure the minimum quality and the requested decoding process can be performed by the received decoding tool. Further, the identification code of the decoding scheme used can be transmitted as required so that the decoding scheme can be expanded by transmitting the differential information from the basic decoding scheme.

An image signal composed of sequential frames is input to a 3-dimensional image creating apparatus, frame by frame. A controller (102) designates the presence/absence of reduction, the presence/absence of joining and 2D select. An image converter (101) creates image data in the format designated by the presence/absence of reduction and the presence/absence of joining. A 3D information creator (103) creates 3D information necessary for displaying the image as a 3-dimensional image by formatting the presence/absence of reduction, the presence/absence of joining and 2D select. A multiplexer (104) converts image data and 3D information in a predetermined format and outputs them to the outside. In this way, it is possible to make the image data for 3-dimensional display versatile and select an arbitrary viewpoint image efficiently.

A sub-sampling portion (101) sub-samples images of data corresponding to the left and right viewpoints. A joining method selector (104) selects the joining method that minimizes the discontinuity at the boundary in the joined image when the sub-sampled images of data are joined. A joining portion (102) joins the plurality of images data, based on the selected joining method. An encoder (103) encodes the joined image data, and a joining method encoder (105) encodes the information of the joining method. A multiplexer (106) multiplexes these pieces of coded data. In this way, the continuity of the joined image is improved, whereby the coding efficiency is enhanced.

In disparity-compensated prediction, the precision of prediction vectors is improved even if a prediction method different from disparity-compensated prediction is utilized for blocks around a block to be coded. An image coding apparatus (100) codes a plurality of viewpoint images captured from different viewpoints. The image coding apparatus (100) includes: an imaging-condition information coder (101) that codes information indicating a positional relationship between a subject and cameras which are set for capturing the plurality of viewpoint images; a disparity information generator (104) that generates disparity information on the basis of the information and at least one of depth images corresponding to the plurality of viewpoint images; and an image coder (106) that generates, concerning a viewpoint image to be coded, a prediction vector for a viewpoint image different from the viewpoint image to be coded, on the basis of the disparity information, and that codes the viewpoint image to be coded by using the prediction vector in accordance with an inter-view prediction coding method.
摘要:
A stereoscopic image processing method capable of preventing occurrence of undesirable cutout of image when a stereoscopic combined image is printed out is provided.A stereoscopic combined image can be created and recorded using a digital still camera 1. This stereoscopic combined image is a single image formed by arranging a plurality of view-point images. At first, left view-point image data and right view-point image data are stored in a memory by performing photographing twice. Then, the data of the two images are arranged laterally into a single image. Through this processing, original stereoscopic combined image data is created. Padding areas (dummy areas) are added to the original stereoscopic combined image data at the upper and lower sides thereof. Namely, a processed image containing the original stereoscopic combined image is created.
