Patent ID: 8379113

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: a plurality of imaging units for acquiring a plurality of viewpoint images imaged from a plurality of viewpoints by a plurality of imaging optical systems each including a zoom lens; a storage unit for storing information on an image trimming process and a magnification process required for correcting an object point shift amount caused by at least one of optical axis shift error and magnification error of the imaging optical systems, the information relating to determination of the trimming position of the trimming process and the magnification percentage of the magnification process; an optical zoom magnification specifying unit for receiving a specification instruction of an optical zoom magnification; a plurality of zoom lens driving units for moving the zoom lenses to positions corresponding to the instruction of the optical zoom magnification received by the optical zoom magnification specifying unit; and a correction unit for determining the trimming position and the magnification percentage correcting an object shift amount corresponding to the positions of the zoom lenses moved by the plurality of zoom lens driving units based on the information relating to the determination of the trimming position of the trimming process and the magnification percentage of the magnification process, trimming an image in the determined trimming position from the viewpoint images, and magnifying the trimmed image based on the determined magnification percentage; and a three dimensional image processing unit for generating a three dimensional image based on an image extracted by the correction unit and a viewpoint image other than a viewpoint image to be corrected, and outputting the three dimensional image onto a predetermined display device.
