First Claim
1. An image processing system, comprising:
- a display configured to display a stereoscopic image by arranging parallax images generated by performing a volume rendering process on volume data while sequentially changing a point-of-view position by a predetermined parallactic angle with a same number of pixels as a number of point-of-view positions, and outputting the arranged parallax images; and
a processing circuit configured togenerate different parallax images which are an integer multiple of the number of pixels by performing the volume rendering process on the volume data at point-of-view positions which are the integer multiple of the number of pixels when receiving an operation to change to a predetermined mode,classify the generated different parallax images that are the integer multiple of the number of pixels into a first parallax image sub group to be a set of parallax images whose point-of-view positions are discontinuous to each other and a same in number as the number of pixels and a second parallax image sub group including a set of parallax images whose point-of-view positions are between the point-of-view positions of the first parallax image sub group and a same in number as the number of pixels, andperform control such that the display continuously displays the first parallax image sub group and the second parallax image sub group while alternately switching the first parallax image sub group and the second parallax image sub group at a predetermined switching speed while in the predetermined mode.

Abstract
In an image processing system according to an embodiment, a display unit simultaneously displays a predetermined number of parallax images. A parallax image generation control unit performs control such that a group of parallax images of point-of-view positions which are larger in number than the predetermined number is generated. A display control unit classifies the group of the parallax images into a first parallax image sub group including a set of parallax images whose point-of-view positions are discontinuous to each other and a second parallax image sub group including parallax images whose point-of-view positions are between the set of the parallax images, and performs control such that the display unit displays the first parallax image sub group and the second parallax image sub group while switching the first parallax image sub group and the second parallax image sub group at a predetermined switching speed.
