Abstract:
1. A stereo image display system comprising: a stereo imaging apparatus configured to perform imaging to produce parallax images having a parallax therebetween; and a stereo display apparatus configured to be capable of displaying the parallax images to present a stereo image, wherein the stereo imaging apparatus comprising: a corresponding point extraction part configured to extract corresponding points at each of plural portions in the parallax images; a pixel shift amount acquisition part configured to acquire a pixel shift amount between the corresponding points at each of the plural portions, and configured to acquire information on a maximum pixel shift amount and a minimum pixel shift amount among the acquired pixel shift amounts; and an output part configured to output the parallax images and the information on the maximum and minimum pixel shift amounts, wherein the stereo display apparatus comprising: an information acquisition part configured to acquire the parallax images and the information on the maximum and minimum pixel shift amounts; a relative parallax amount calculation part configured to calculate (a) a maximum relative parallax amount corresponding to the maximum pixel shift amount and (b) a minimum relative parallax amount corresponding to the minimum pixel shift amount, by using the information on the maximum and minimum pixel shift amounts and a display condition; and a fusional limit determination part configured to determine whether or not at least one of the maximum and minimum relative parallax amounts exceeds a fusional limit criterion value, and configured to determine whether or not a difference between the maximum and minimum relative parallax amounts exceeds a fusional limit range amount if the at least one of the maximum and minimum relative parallax amounts exceeds the fusional limit criterion value.
