An image capture device assembly includes a light source that emits a reference light pattern, an image capture device, and a control device that controls the light source and the image capture device. The light source emits the reference light pattern to a subject with high brightness and low brightness, respectively, under the control of the control device. The image capture device captures an image of the reference light pattern and the subject in a high brightness irradiation state and outputs a first image signal to the control device. The image capture device captures an image of at least the subject in a low brightness irradiation state and outputs a second image signal to the control device. The control device generates a reference light pattern image signal from a difference between the first image signal and the second image signal.

Capture device assembly, three-dimensional shape measurement device, and motion detection device

An image processing apparatus includes a 3D image converter and a 3D image generator. The 3D image converter performs conversion processing for converting a 2D image including a plurality of planes that are created with virtual distances into a 3D image on the basis of the virtual distances among the plurality of planes of the 2D images. The 3D image generator generates a 3D image from the two-dimensional image on the basis of the conversion processing performed by the 3D image converter and displays the generated 3D image. When a virtual distance between the corresponding planes of the 2D image is changed while the 3D image is being displayed by use of the 3D image generator, the 3D image converter performs the conversion processing in accordance with a change in the virtual distance.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer program

Disclosed herein is an image processing device having a display section and an image pickup section, the image processing device including: an operating section configured to generating an operating signal on a basis of contact of a user with the display section; a bulletin board display controlling section configured to display a bulletin board for posting an image message on the display section, and display an image message generated in advance on the bulletin board; a picked-up image display controlling section configured to display an image being picked up by the image pickup section on the bulletin board when an operating element for transition to an image pickup mode, the operating element being displayed within the bulletin board, is operated; and an image message generating section configured to subject the displayed the image to a predetermined edit, and generate an image message.
