1. An image display apparatus comprising:
- right and left image taking means for taking right and left images of a real space;
output means for outputting the images taken by said right and left image taking means to an image processing unit;
right and left display means for displaying right and left display images based on right and left image signals output from the image processing unit;
calculation means for calculating an imaging parameter common to said right and left image taking means on the basis of the image taken by said right image taking means and/or the image taken by said left image taking means; and
setting means for setting, in said right and left image taking means, the imaging parameter calculated by said calculation means.

Abstract
On the basis of an image taken by a right image taking unit and/or an image taken by a left image taking unit, an imaging parameter common to the right and left image taking units is calculated. The calculated imaging parameter is set in the right and left image taking units.

7. An image display apparatus which displays, on right and left display means, right and left images obtained by superimposing CG on images taken by right and left image taking means, the apparatus comprising:
-
selection means for selecting, on the basis of a relationship between first luminance information based on the image taken by said right image taking means and second luminance information based on the image taken by said left image taking means, the first luminance information and/or the second luminance information as luminance information to be used for obtaining an imaging parameter common to said right and left image taking means;
calculation means for calculating the imaging parameter common to said right and left image taking means by using the luminance information selected by said selection means; and
setting means for setting, in said right and left image taking means, the imaging parameter calculated by said calculation means.
