✦ Synopsis
An effect of the toed-in camera configuration is keystone distortion, which causes vertical and horizontal parallax in the stereoscopic image. The horizontal parallax is the source of the depth plane curvature. However, if the stereoscopic image captured by the toed-in camera system with fish-eye lens is displayed on mobile device, it is uncomfortable to view because the horizontal parallax contains horizontal parallax distortion occurred by the wide field of view of the lenses. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel correction method of the horizontal parallax distortion, which is one of the keystone distortions, in a toed-in camera with fish-eye lenses for mobile device. We have experimented to attest the proposed method. In experiment, we used two charge coupled device cameras, whose field of view is 48.48°. In addition, the captured stereoscopic image was corrected for the barrel distortion and the horizontal parallax distortion. Therefore, the proposed method provides correcting of the horizontal parallax distortion from a toed-in camera system in order that the users can enjoy three-dimensional effects without the visual fatigue. Additionally, the proposed method is able to apply to toed-in camera consisting of any kinds of cameras.
