Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for adjusting stereoscopic image parallax and a stereo camera. The parallax adjusting method includes obtaining a depth range of a current scene. A preset parallax range may also be obtained according to a current viewing condition. Expected camera parameters of the current scene are calculated according to the depth range of the current scene and the preset parallax range. The stereo camera is adjusted according to the expected camera parameters and used to capture preprocessed stereoscopic images. Further, the captured preprocessed stereoscopic images are processed according to the expected camera parameters to make the preprocessed stereoscopic images suitable for being viewed under the current viewing condition. The disclosed method and apparatus can jointly adjust parameters of the stereo camera and captured stereo images to obtain images or videos with a maximum parallax as well as desired display effect under a specified condition.

Claim (Index 39):
An apparatus for adjusting stereoscopic image parallax in a stereo camera having at least two lenses with parallel optical axes, comprising:\n a depth acquisition unit configured to obtain a depth range of a current scene; a parallax acquisition unit configured to obtain a preset parallax range according to a current viewing condition, the preset parallax range of the current viewing condition referring to a maximum parallax range of stereoscopic images when ensuring a desired viewing experience under the current viewing condition; a calculation unit configured to calculate expected camera parameters of the current scene according to the depth range of the current scene and the preset parallax range; and a processing unit configured to adjust the stereo camera according to the expected camera parameters and, after capturing preprocessed stereoscopic images using the adjusted stereo camera, to process the preprocessed stereoscopic images according to the expected camera parameters to make the preprocessed stereoscopic images suitable for being viewed under the current viewing condition.
