Abstract:
1. An apparatus for generating stereoscopic images in a scheme of barrier Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), the apparatus comprising: an Image Signal Processing (ISP) unit for arranging, with a vertical direction as a reference, pixels related to each of a left image and a right image acquired through left and right camera sensors according to control under which images are generated in an interlaced mode, and for enabling the left image and the right image photographed in a horizontal direction to be output in the vertical direction; a stereoscopic image processing unit for generating a stereoscopic image according to the scheme of barrier LCD by using the left image and the right image, both of which are output in the vertical direction; a memory unit for storing the generated stereoscopic image; and a control unit for controlling the ISP unit depending on whether an image generation mode is set to an interlaced mode or a barrier mode, and for providing to an output device the stored stereoscopic image rotated by a preset angle, when the output device selected to output the stored stereoscopic image corresponds to an output device employing an interlaced scheme.
