Claim Text:
1. A playback device comprising: an input section that inputs continuous frame images of a plurality of viewpoints in which a same subject has been picked-up in continuous frames from a plurality of viewpoints; a parallax amount acquiring section that acquires a parallax amount of a predetermined object on the basis of a frame image for a left eye and a frame image for a right eye that structure the continuous frame images inputted by the input section; an abnormality judging section that judges, with respect to each pair of frame images that is a pair of the frame image for the left eye and the frame image for the right eye, that there is an abnormality in the parallax amount in a case in which an object of acquisition of the parallax amount can no longer be detected from the frame image for the left eye and the frame image for the right eye; a parallax adjusting section that, when it is judged by the abnormality judging section that there is no abnormality in the parallax amount, with respect to the each pair of frame images, carries out parallax adjustment of the predetermined object, and that, when it is judged by the abnormality judging section that there is an abnormality in the parallax amount, with respect to the each pair of frame images, carries out parallax adjustment with respect to another object that is different than the predetermined object, and that, when it is judged by the abnormality judging section that there is an abnormality in the parallax amount, the parallax adjusting section lowers a parallax adjustment frequency; and an output section that, when it is judged by the abnormality judging section that there is no abnormality in the parallax amount, outputs the frame image for the left eye and the frame image for the right eye that include the predetermined object on which parallax adjustment has been carried out by the parallax adjusting section, and that, when it is judged by the abnormality judging section that there is an abnormality in the parallax amount, outputs the frame image for the left eye and the frame image for the right eye that include the other object on which parallax adjustment has been carried out by the parallax adjusting section.
