Abstract:
1. An apparatus for capturing a stereoscopic image, the apparatus comprising: imaging units which generate right-eye image data and left-eye image data having binocular parallax for making a viewer sense a stereoscopic image; an information storage unit which stores, when image center points of the right-eye image data and the left-eye image data are origins, position information indicating a position of a right correction point obtained by moving a mark projected on in the right-eye image data by a differential vector and a position of a left correction point obtained by moving a mark projected on the left-eye image data by the differential vector, wherein the differential vector is a vector having a center point of a connection line that connects the marks projected on the right-eye image data and the left-eye image data as an initial point and the image center points as terminal points; and a cutout control unit which, based on the position information, cuts out pieces of partial image data having the same size by using the right correction point as a cutout center from the right-eye image data and the left correction point as a cutout center from the left-eye image data.
