IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR DISPLAYING RECONSTRUCTION IMAGE
First Claim
1. An imaging device comprising:
- an imager that images a multi-view image in which sub-images from viewpoints are aligned;
a display that displays images;
a first generator that generates a first reconstruction image to be displayed prior to photographing by a first image generation process from the multi-view image;
a second generator that generates a second reconstruction image for display after photographing by a second image generation process from the multi-view image, wherein the second image generation process uses more calculations than the first image generation process to improve an image quality; and
a controller that controls the display to display the first reconstruction image prior to photographing, and to display the second reconstruction image after photographing.

Abstract
A sub-image extractor extracts a target sub-image from a light field image. A partial area definer defines a predetermined area in the target sub-image as a partial area. A pixel extractor extracts pixels from the partial area, the number of pixels meeting correspondence areas of a generation image. The pixel arranger arranges the extracted pixels to the correspondence areas of the generation image in an arrangement according to the optical path of the optical system which photographs the light field image. Pixels are extracted for all sub-images in the light field image, and are arranged to the generation image to generate a reconstruction image.

13. An image display method comprising:
-
imaging a multi-view image in which sub-images from viewpoints are aligned; generating a first reconstruction image to be displayed prior to photographing by a first image generation process from the multi-view image; generating a second reconstruction image for display after photographing by a second image generation process from the multi-view image, wherein the second image generation process uses more calculations than the first image generation process to improve an image quality; and displaying the first reconstruction image on a display device prior to photographing, and displaying the second reconstruction image on the display device after photographing.

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer executable program, the program causing a computer to execute:
-
acquiring a multi-view image in which sub-images from viewpoints are aligned from imaging device; generating a first reconstruction image to be displayed prior to photographing by a first image generation process from the multi-view image; generating a second reconstruction image for display after photographing by a second image generation process from the multi-view image, wherein the second image generation process uses more calculations than the first image generation process to improve an image quality; and displaying the first reconstruction image on a display device prior to photographing, and displaying the second reconstruction image on the display device after photographing.
