ABSTRACT:
An object of the invention is to provide a method for easily determining an integral interval when detecting inclinations of a subject in pixel units and reconstructing a shape of said subject by integrating said detected inclinations. This method photographs the subject with a left camera and a right camera, and obtains gradational images from the respective positions. This method obtains in pixel units parallaxes for the subject between these positions. This method determines as one integral interval each domain in which pixels showing the same parallax appear in succession.
