Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a satisfactory stereoscopic image regardlessly of the kind or size of a display device by providing a means for calculating a parallax amount for each correspondent area of left and right images and a means for controlling the horizontal display positions of left and right images based on the calculated parallax amount. CONSTITUTION:The outputs of video cameras 1 and 2 for left and right images are transmitted to a parallax amount calculating circuit 5, and the parallax amount for each correspondent area of both left and right pictures is detected. Each picture is divided into 64 pieces, for example, and the parallax amount is calculated for each correspondent area. The calculated parallax amount for each area is transmitted to a CPU 6. Based on this parallax amount, the display positions of left and right images are controlled. Namely, a CPU 12 controls the shift direction (right or left) and shift amount of respective horizontal shift circuits 13 and 14 based on a prescribed control signal so as to realize stereoscopic view suitable for a stereoscopic display device 15. Video signals outputted from the respective horizontal shift circuits 13 and 14 are transmitted to the stereoscopic display device 15 and displayed.
