Abstract:
1. A 3D imaging device for three-dimensionally imaging a subject, and capturing a 3D image formed by a first viewing point image and a second viewing point image, the 3D imaging device comprising: an optical system configured to form an optical image of the subject; an imaging unit configured to generate the 3D image based on the formed optical image; an imaging parameter obtaining unit configured to obtain an imaging parameter associated with the optical system used when the optical image has been formed; a display parameter obtaining unit configured to obtain a display parameter associated with an environment in which the 3D image is viewed; a disparity detection unit configured to detect a disparity for the 3D image; a recording image generation unit configured to generate a 3D image for recording based on the generated 3D image, a 3D perception determination unit configured to determine, before the 3D image for recording is generated, viewability of three-dimensional viewing of the generated 3D image based on the imaging parameter, the display parameter, and the detected disparity using a predetermined determination condition, the 3D perception determination unit determines whether a scene to be imaged three-dimensionally will be perceived three-dimensionally by determining whether a state of a predetermined subject included in the scene to be imaged satisfies the formula: where L where L δ is a relative disparity angle defining a 3D viewing enabling range.
