Abstract:
1. An image reproduction apparatus comprising: a reproduction unit that reproduces a stereo image including an image for left eye and an image for right eye having a disparity which is a shift value of an object in an eye width direction between the image for left eye and the image for right eye; an acquisition unit that acquires a disparity between the image for left eye and the image for right eye for each of objects included in the stereo image; a determination unit that determines a representative value of disparities acquired by the acquisition unit; a mode setting unit that sets one mode from a plurality of modes which include a first mode in which the reproduction unit reproduces the stereo image at a first reproduction speed that is higher than a normal reproduction speed and a second mode in which the reproduction unit reproduces the stereo image at a second reproduction speed that is higher than the first reproduction speed, the normal reproduction speed being a reproduction speed during a normal reproduction; an adjustment unit that adjusts a maximum value of the disparity between the image for left eye and the image for right eye of the stereo image on the basis of the representative value determined by the determination unit and the mode that has been set by the mode setting unit; and a generation unit that generates a stereo image from the image for left eye and the image for right eye for which the disparity has been adjusted by the adjustment unit and outputs the generated stereo image, wherein the adjustment unit makes a maximum value of the disparity in the first mode less than a maximum value of the disparity in the normal reproduction and makes a maximum value of the disparity in the second mode less than a maximum value of the disparity in the first mode.
