3D IMAGE TAKING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A 3D image taking apparatus comprising:
- a monocular photographic lens;
a first and second solid-state imaging devices that receive one part and another part of incident light coming from a subject via the photographic lens in parallel;
a light splitting member that splits the incident light into the one part and the other part of the incident light using a boundary region that extends perpendicularly to an optical axis, and causes the one part and the other part of the incident light to enter the first and second solid-state imaging devices, respectively;
a parallax separation member that prevents a part of the incident light entering the boundary region from entering the first and second solid-state imaging devices; and
an image processing unit that generates 3D image data of the subject by performing image processing on respective output signals of the first and second solid-state imaging devices.
