摘要:
It is disclosed that in order to form an image of which the continuity is not lost from the image information of an area in which a double image exists and the vicinity thereof and prevent the deterioration of the image, an image processing portion to which video signals from left and right image taking systems are input has an image input portion, an image conversion portion and a synthesized image memory. The image conversion portion has a corresponding point sampling unit for sampling pairs of corresponding points corresponding to the same portion of an object from the video signals, a double image area-dividing unit for effecting the area division of a double image on the basis of the information of the three-dimensional positions of the sampled pairs of corresponding points, a double image mode-discriminating judging unit for determining an image of greater probability with which each double image is connected to a double image non-generating area, and an either image of two systems and common images of two ones simultaneous-removal unit which uses as synthesized image forming data the image determined to be more probably connected to the double image non-generating area by the double image mode-discriminating judging unit, and removes the other image.

Disclosed is a multieye imaging apparatus for imaging an image field including an overlapped area by controlling a plurality of pick-up-image systems for obtaining an image having a desired aspect ratio that is different from an image obtained from a pick-up-image optical system. The multieye imaging apparatus has an image correlation processing unit for effecting a correlation operation from image signals obtained from a plurality of pick-up-image systems. The apparatus also has an image synthesizing processing unit for joining the other image on the basis of one image from the image signals relative to the correlation operation performed by the image correlation processing unit.

This invention relates to a multi-lens imaging apparatus and, more particularly, to a multi-lens imaging apparatus for obtaining a single high-fine image by synthesizing a plurality of images obtained by picking up an image of a common object using a plurality of imaging systems and to an apparatus which can provide an image having an aspect ratio different from that of an image obtained by a single imaging apparatus, especially, a panoramic image, by synthesizing a plurality of images using a plurality of imaging systems. This invention has as its object to obtain a high-fine image by synthesizing images from a plurality of imaging systems and, more specifically, to correct mis-registration such as keystone distortions generated in the images.
摘要:
A multi-lens imaging apparatus comprises a plurality of imaging optical systems in which an angle formed by optical axes is varied by inclining an optical axis of at least one optical system between a first state and a second state, and a plurality of image sensing means for detecting an image of an object imaged through the imaging optical systems. A photosensitive surface of the image sensing means corresponding to the at least one optical system is inclined with respect to the optical axis, and the inclined angle is established between an imaging surface being conjugated with the object surface in the first state and an imaging surface being conjugated with the subject surface in the second state, thereby reducing unsharpness amount generating at the periphery portions of the screen.

摘要:
Images sensed through object lenses 100R and 100L, having zoom lenses, with image sensors 102R and 102L are processed by image signal processors 104R and 104L, and an image of an object in each of the sensed images is separated from a background image on the basis of the processed image signals. The separated image signals representing the image of the object enter the image processor 220, where a three-dimensional shape of the object is extracted on the basis of parameters used upon sensing the images. The parameters are automatically adjusted so that images of the object fall within the both image sensing areas of the image sensors 102R and 102L and that they fall within the both focal depths of the image sensors 102R and 102L.

摘要:
An image processing apparatus capable of appropriately displaying a face frame in a manner superimposed on a three-dimensional video image. In a three-dimensional photography image pickup apparatus as the image processing apparatus, two video images are acquired by shooting an object, and a face area is detected in each of the two video images. The face area detected in one of the two video images and the face area detected in the other video image are associated with each other. The three-dimensional photography image pickup apparatus generates face area-related information including positions on a display panel where face area images are to be displayed. The face area images are generated according to the face area-related information. The two video images are combined with the respective face area images, and the combined video images are output to the display panel.
