The present invention provides a technique for enabling even a person
having no expert knowledge to adjust the direction of an optical axis
easily with high precision. In a three-dimensional image processing
apparatus having plural image capturing apparatuses, optical center of an
image from an image capturing apparatus is stored for each of the image
capturing apparatuses. A mark indicative of the optical center is
superimposed on an image obtained from the image capturing apparatus. By
referring to the mark for each of the image capturing apparatuses, the
orientation of each of the image capturing apparatuses is adjusted so
that all of the marks overlay on the same point on an object.
