IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD, AS WELL AS PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An image display device comprising:
- display means capable of stereoscopically displaying a stereoscopic image generated from two or more images obtained through photographing from different positions;
three-dimensional processing means for applying three-dimensional processing for stereoscopic display to the two or more images to generate the stereoscopic image;
input means for receiving an instruction to start changing a parallax level of the stereoscopic image and an instruction to change the parallax level; and
display control means for switching stereoscopic display of the stereoscopic image into two-dimensional display of the two or more images overlapped with each other in response to the instruction to start changing the parallax level, and two-dimensionally displaying the two or more images with changing the parallax level of the images in response to the instruction to change the parallax level.

Abstract
A stereoscopic image is generated by applying three-dimensional processing to two or more images, which are obtained through photographing from different positions. The stereoscopic image is stereoscopically displayed, and an instruction to start changing a parallax level of the stereoscopic image is received. In response to the instruction to start changing the parallax level, stereoscopic display of the stereoscopic image is switched into two-dimensional display of the two or more images overlapped with each other. An instruction to change the parallax level is received. In response to the instruction to change the parallax level, the two or more images are two-dimensionally displayed with the parallax level of the images being changed.

10. An image display method implemented using a processor, the method comprising the steps of:
-
generating a stereoscopic image by applying three-dimensional processing to two or more images, the two or more images obtained through photographing from different positions; stereoscopically displaying the stereoscopic image; receiving an instruction to start changing a parallax level of the stereoscopic image; switching stereoscopic display of the stereoscopic image into two-dimensional display of the two or more images overlapped with each other in response to the instruction to start changing the parallax level; receiving an instruction to change the parallax level; and two-dimensionally displaying the two or more images with changing the parallax level of the images in response to the instruction to change the parallax level.

11. A computer-readable recording medium containing a program for causing a computer to carry out an image display method comprising the steps of:
-
generating a stereoscopic image by applying three-dimensional processing to two or more images, the two or more images obtained through photographing from different positions; stereoscopically displaying the stereoscopic image; receiving an instruction to start changing a parallax level of the stereoscopic image; switching stereoscopic display of the stereoscopic image into two-dimensional display of the two or more images overlapped with each other in response to the instruction to start changing the parallax level; receiving an instruction to change the parallax level; and two-dimensionally displaying the two or more images with changing the parallax level of the images in response to the instruction to change the parallax level.
