Abstract
A center of rotation O of a camerais determined on an axispassing through the position between pickup target objects A, B and the camerain the direction from a lensto a CCDBefore rotation (in a first state), an optical axisof the cameraswings to the left with the point O as center and with an angle è with respect to the axiswhereas after rotation (in the second state), the optical axisswings to the right with the point O as center and with angle è with respect to the axisThe pickup target objects A, B, C form images on a pickup face, respectively. In order that the formed image b, for example, of the image picked up after movement may coincide with the formed image bof the image before movement, the image after rotation is moved in the cross direction. Then, the image before rotation and the image obtained by moving the image after rotation in the cross direction are input to a display which allows a stereovision due to binocular parallax, which are seen as a stereoscopic image.
