Abstract:
1. An image processing device configured to edit, at an edit point, a first encoded stream of 3D images, and a second encoded stream of 3D images, comprising: an obtaining unit configured to obtain first disparity information, which includes a binocular disparity amount for a first main viewing region within the 3D images that are part of the first encoded stream, and configured to obtain second disparity information, which includes a binocular disparity amount for a second main viewing region within the 3D images that are part of the second encoded stream; an adjustment unit configured to adjust at least one of the binocular disparity amount for the first disparity information of the first main viewing region and the binocular disparity amount for the second disparity information of the second main viewing region, so that the difference between the binocular disparity amount included in the first disparity information obtained by the obtaining unit and the binocular disparity amount included in the second disparity information obtained by the obtaining unit, is at or below a threshold; an updating unit configured to update the binocular disparity amount included in the first disparity information obtained by the obtaining unit and the binocular disparity amount included in the second disparity information obtained by the obtaining unit, into the binocular disparity amount adjusted by the adjustment unit; and an editing unit configured to add the first disparity information with the binocular disparity amount updated by the updating unit to the first encoded stream, or add the second disparity information with the binocular disparity amount updated by the updating unit to the second encoded stream, and configured to edit the first encoded stream and the second encoded stream at the edit point, and configured to re-encode a re-encoding section that includes at least a portion of the first encoded stream or the second encoded stream, wherein the first main viewing region within the 3D images of the first encoded stream and the second main viewing region within the 3D images of the second encoded stream are between a foreground and a background of a frame of the 3D images.
