ABSTRACT:
Binocular parallax of a captured image is detected, and image pickup cameras are controlled so that their optic axes converge at an optimum point to ensure that the parallax of the captured image comes within the binocular fusing range of a viewer. Further, an optimum fixating point is calculated that enables the viewer to perceive the stereoscopic depth of the object over the widest possible range, and control is performed so that the fixating point is reproduced at a surface of a stereoscopic image display or at a designated distance from the surface. This suppresses the unnatural feel when the viewer views stereoscopic images.
