Abstract:
1. A composite eye imaging device comprising: imaging sections that generate a plurality of viewpoint images per frame by imaging a same subject from a plurality of viewpoints, wherein the imaging sections generate a right eye image and a left eye image for each frame of consecutive frames; a parallax amount acquiring section that acquires a parallax amount on the basis of the plurality of viewpoint images generated by the imaging sections, wherein the parallax amount acquiring section detects a face from each of the right eye image and the left eye image and computes a parallax amount using a characteristic point of the detected face from the right eye image and a characteristic point of the detected face from the left eye image, and wherein the parallax amount acquiring section computes said parallax amount for each of the consecutive frames; an abnormality judging section that judges that there is an abnormality in the parallax amount in at least one case of a case in which fluctuation of a fixed interval in the parallax amount acquired by the parallax amount acquiring section is greater than a predetermined value, a case in which the parallax amount reaches an allowed limit value that is determined in advance, or a case in which an object of acquisition of the parallax amount can no longer be detected, and judges that there is no abnormality in the parallax amount in a case that is none of a case in which fluctuation of a fixed interval in the parallax amount is greater than a predetermined value, a case in which the parallax amount reaches an allowed limit value that is determined in advance, or a case in which an object of acquisition of the parallax amount can no longer be detected, wherein the abnormality judging section judges whether there is an abnormality in the parallax amount for each of the consecutive frames; and a parallax adjusting section that judges whether there is an abnormality in the parallax amount, such that:
