Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: point-of-regard setting means for selecting at least one frame as a reference frame from a plurality of frames that constitute motion image data and setting a point-of-regard on an object in said reference frame; motion compensation processing means for calculating an amount of movement of the point-of-regard using a relation between the point-of-regard set on the object in said reference frame and a point corresponding to said point-of-regard in another frame, calculating a motion compensation amount for each frame based on said amount of movement, and executing a motion compensation processing for said motion image data based on said motion compensation amount; and a supplier for supplying an output of said motion compensation processing means to an image conversion processor, said image conversion processor being operable to convert said motion image data to parallax image data for printing as parallax image printed matter, in which a perceived image varies depending on a viewing angle, whereby frame-based motion image data is converted to parallax printing data according to frame-to-frame motion compensation data.
