- a stereoscopic image is sent to an external display device 30 that can be viewed by a single viewer rather than a large screen display device 20 that can be viewed by a large number of viewers. Based on the distance to the viewer's screen, the distance between both eyes, etc. detected by the above, the feature is that the limit parallax as a reference for generating a stereoscopic image is corrected.
- the input means 15 is a pointing device such as a mouse for indicating an arbitrary position on the screen, or a keyboard or the like for inputting numerical data such as the horizontal width of the display screen on the screen.
- the display interface 16 is an LSI board that sends display data to an external display device 30 such as a liquid crystal display device (LCD) that displays and outputs an image and a display display (CRT).
- LCD liquid crystal display device
- CRT display display
- the sensor interface 41 transmits a signal detected by the viewer sensor 40 provided outside to the CPU 11.
- the viewer sensor 40 is, for example, an optical sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or the like installed above the screen of the display device 30, and the CPU 11 determines whether or not to reach the viewer based on the acquired detection signal. Calculate distance, distance between both eyes of the viewer.
- the reciprocal of the distance L1 between the point where the optical axes of the left and right eyes 31, 32 intersect and the both eyes 31, 32, and the screen, screen, etc. on which the subject is projected and the binocular 31, 32 It is known that when the difference between the reciprocal of the distance L2 is within ⁇ 2, it can be recognized as a stereoscopic image without blurring. However, it may be assumed that the distance varies depending on individual characteristics such as the distance to the viewer's display screen and the distance between the viewer's eyes.
- the tolerance Z between the reciprocal of the distance L1 and the reciprocal of the distance L2 that should absorb the fluctuation of the permissible limit is based on the signal detected by the viewer sensor 40.
- the CPU 11 calculates it based on the calculated distance to the viewer and the distance between the viewer's eyes.
- FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a procedure for calculating the limit parallax of the CPU 11 of the stereoscopic image display apparatus 10 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
- the CPU 11 of the stereoscopic image display device 10 acquires the detection signal detected by the viewer sensor 40 (step S1501), and the screen, screen, etc. of the display device 20 on which the subject is projected and the binoculars 31, 32
- the distance L2 and the distance E between the eyes of the viewer are calculated (step S 1502).
- the CPU 11 calculates a tolerance Z between the reciprocal of the distance L1 and the reciprocal of the distance L2 (step S1503), and calculates a critical parallax in real space by the following procedure (step S1504). Since the difference between the reciprocal of the distance L1 and the reciprocal of the distance L2 is within Z, Equation 5 holds between the distance L1 and the distance L2.
- a coefficient for correcting the critical parallax D that fits more to the personal feature points of the viewer is input via the input means 15. Set. Thereby, it is possible to generate a stereoscopic image more suitable for the viewer.
- the CPU 11 calculates the number of pixels of the limit parallax D based on the calculated limit parallax D, the horizontal width W of the screen of the display device 30 and the horizontal resolution R of the screen (step S 1505). In other words, according to (Equation 8), it is converted into the number Q of pixels on the screen displaying the critical parallax D.
- Embodiment 1 a stereoscopic image is generated for each divided space, and a plurality of generated stereoscopic images are combined to generate a single stereoscopic image.
- An accurate stereoscopic image can be viewed regardless of the viewing posture, direction, and the like.
- the critical parallax can be accurately calculated according to the position viewed by the viewer, and a stereoscopic image suitable for the viewer can be displayed.
- the limit parallax can be calculated more accurately by correcting the limit parallax calculated according to the personal features of the viewer, for example, before and after the retinal position by myopia or hyperopia, and whether or not the lens is stained. Therefore, it is possible to display a stereoscopic image more suitable for the viewer.
