Abstract

A position calculation unit ( 110 ) acquires image data generated by photographing the face of the user. The position calculation unit ( 110 ) then calculates the position of the face in the image data. A three-dimensional image generator ( 130 ) generates three-dimensional image data in order to display a three-dimensional image on the basis of an image for the left eye, an image for the right eye, and a parameter for three-dimensional image display. A parameter establishment unit ( 120 ) establishes the above-described parameter on the basis of the calculated value of the position calculation unit ( 110 ). This parameter is, e.g., the shift value of the image for the left eye and/or the image for the right eye.

Claims (18)

1 . An image processing device comprising:

a position calculation unit that acquires image data generated by imaging a face of a user and calculate a position of the face within the image data;

a three-dimensional image generation unit that generates three-dimensional image data for displaying a three-dimensional image, on the basis of a left-eye image, a right-eye image, and a three-dimensional image display parameter; and

a parameter setting unit that sets the parameter on the basis of a calculation value of the position calculation unit.

2 . The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter is a shift amount of at least one of the left-eye image and the right-eye image.

3 . The image processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an imaging unit, provided on one surface of the image processing device, which generates the image data; and

a display unit, provided on the one surface, which displays the three-dimensional image data.

4 . The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter setting unit terminates setting of the parameter when the face is no longer included in a reference area within the image data.

5 . The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter setting unit starts the setting of the parameter when a tilt of the face is equal to or less than a reference value in the image data.

6 . An image processing method causing a computer to:

acquire image data generated by imaging a face of a user and calculate a position of the face in the image data;

generate three-dimensional image data for displaying a three-dimensional image, on the basis of a left-eye image, a right-eye image, and a three-dimensional image display parameter; and

set the parameter on the basis of the position of the face.

7 . A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to have:

a function of acquiring image data generated by imaging a face of a user and calculating a position of the face in the image data;

a function of generating three-dimensional image data for displaying a three-dimensional image, on the basis of a left-eye image, a right-eye image, and a three-dimensional image display parameter; and

a function of setting the parameter on the basis of the position of the face.
