Abstract
A stereoscopic shooting device includes: a first shooting section that obtains a first image; a second shooting section that outputs a second image; an angle of view matching section that cuts image portions to have the same angle of view from the first and second images; a parallax information generating section that generates parallax information indicating parallax between the two image portions; a reliability information generating section that generates reliability information indicating the degree of reliability of the parallax information based on at least one of the first and second images and the parallax information; and an image generating section that generates, based on the parallax information and the first image, a third image that forms, with the first image, stereoscopic images. The parallax information generating section corrects the parallax information based on the reliability information.
