A 3D image capture device includes: a first image capturing section including a first optical system and a first image sensor that outputs a first signal to generate a first image; a second image capturing section including a second optical system that has parallax with respect to the first optical system and a second image sensor that outputs a second signal to generate a second image that has parallax with respect to the first image; a point of convergence adjusting section configured to adjust the position of the point of convergence; a working range setting section configured to set working ranges for the image stabilization working according to the position of the point of convergence; and an image stabilizing section configured to cancel the camera shake within the set working ranges.

Three-dimensional image capture device, lens control device and program

An image capture device includes: first and second shooting sections, each of which is configured to shoot an image of a subject; and a signal processing section configured to generate, based on first and second images that have been shot by the first and second shooting sections, respectively, information indicating the amount of parallax between the first and second images. Based on at least one of the states of the first and second images, a zoom power during shooting, and the tilt of the image capture device during shooting, the signal processing section generates control information indicating the degree of stereoscopic property of a 3D image to be generated based on the first and second images or indicating whether or not the 3D image needs to be output, and records the control information and the information indicating the amount of parallax.

Image device and image processing method for generating control information indicating the degree of stereoscopic property or whether or not 3D image needs to be outputted

An image capture device includes: first and second shooting sections, each of which is configured to shoot an image of a subject; a disparity calculating section configured to generate a depth map based on first and second images that have been shot by the first and second shooting sections, respectively; and an image generating section configured to generate, based on the depth map and the first image, a third image that has as high a resolution as the first image and that forms part of a 3D image. The image generating section is controlled to determine whether or not to generate the third image based on at least one of the states of the first and second images, a zoom power during shooting, and the tilt of the image capture device during shooting.
