Abstract

To provide a three-dimensional vision camera where no disagreement is caused between two-dimensional image information and distance information, the three-dimensional vision camera is provided with a memory (11), a neural network (12) and a three-dimensional image synthesizer (13). In the memory (11), image data of a photographic object shot from different directions are stored. Information necessary for converting the image sensed by an image sensing device (2) into a three-dimensional image is read out from the image data of the memory (11) by the neural network (12). A three-dimensional image is produced by the three-dimensional image synthesizer (13).
