It is the three-dimensional data that must be prepared in advance in order to express such a three-dimensional image. Conventionally, in order to acquire the three-dimensional data, it is artificially created using three-dimensional graphics software or photographed with an analog film-type stereo camera, and again It was developed by multi-synthesis printing on lenticular film photo paper through a three-dimensional dedicated developing device.

In addition, through the editing and synthesis of graphic programs, three-dimensional objects in three-dimensional form were expressed and produced. In addition, the image was taken with a special three-dimensional stereo camera, and the image was synthesized by the red-blue analyzer, and then stereoscopic images could be realized and enjoyed using red-blue glasses or polarized glasses.

However, this conventional method not only takes a lot of effort and time to produce and output a three-dimensional image, there is a disadvantage that the production cost is also expensive.

In addition, by producing a three-dimensional image by the graphics software and analog film method, not only the reality is lowered but also there is a disadvantage that the image is not detailed.

The present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems, the object of the present invention is to obtain a three-dimensional image by combining the optical lens and the image processing semiconductor element of the digital camera, while simultaneously storing and outputting it as three-dimensional data, It is to provide a three-dimensional digital stereo camera that can not only acquire a three-dimensional image in the shortest time, but also increase the realism and the resolution of the image.
