Title:
PARALLEL AXIS STEREOSCOPIC CAMERA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/129488
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a parallel axis stereoscopic camera, comprising: a camera section that includes a left-hand side image sensor and a right-hand side image sensor, having a higher resolution than an output image, and outputting RGB data having the same resolution as the output image; a vergence controller that performs an electronic control for eliminating a binocular disparity of an object by changing a read-out starting point in the horizontal direction of at least one of the left-hand side and right-hand side image sensors; an image processing section that consists of a left-hand side image processor for image processing of the left-hand side RGB data under the control of the vergence controller and then outputting a left-hand side luminance/chrominance signal and a right-hand side image processor for image processing the right-hand side RGB data and then outputting a right-hand side luminance/chrominance signal; and a stereoscopic image synthesizer for synthesizing the left-hand side luminance/chrominance signal with the right-hand side luminance/chrominance signal to produce a stereoscopic image. The present invention can prevent an image loss caused by the alignment error between the left-hand-side and right-hand-side cameras, and an image loss occurring in the vergence control process. Also, the signal processing procedure is simplified such that image distortion and time delay can be minimized.
