First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image input device configured to input a plurality of images with a parallax between the images;
a parallax computation device configured to set one of the plurality of inputted images as a reference image and compute a parallax for each of pixels of the reference image on the basis of the plurality of images;
a first extraction device configured to extract an unknown-parallax region for which a parallax cannot be computed by the parallax computation device;
a display control device configured to display the unknown-parallax region on a display device;
an input device configured to receive a user input of information on a parallax for the unknown-parallax region from a user; and
a parallax setting device configured to set the parallax for the unknown-parallax region on the basis of the input information on the parallax.

Abstract
An image processing method including: inputting a plurality of images with a parallax between the images; by using one of the plurality of inputted images as a reference image, computing a parallax for each of pixels of the reference image on the basis of the plurality of images; extracting an unknown-parallax region for which a parallax cannot be computed; displaying the unknown-parallax region on a display device; receiving a user input of information on a parallax for the unknown-parallax region from a user; and setting the parallax for the unknown-parallax region on the basis of the input information on the parallax.
