Abstract:
1. An image capture device comprising: a first shooting section configured to shoot an image of a subject; a second shooting section configured to shoot an image of the subject from a different angle of view from the first shooting section; an angle of view matching section configured to match to each other the respective angles of view of first and second images that have been shot by the first and second shooting section, respectively; a number of pixels matching section configured to match to each other the respective numbers of pixels of the first and second images that have had their angles of view matched to each other by the angle of view matching section, a disparity calculating section configured to generate a depth map as a piece of information indicating parallax between the first and second images that have had their numbers of pixels matched to each other by the number of pixels matching section; and an image generating section configured to generate, based on the depth map and the first image, a third image that has as high a resolution as the first image and that forms, along with the first image, a 3D image, wherein the image generating section is controlled to determine whether or not to generate the third image based on at least one of a zoom power during shooting and the roll angle of the image capture device during shooting.
