ABSTRACT:
It is an object to perform color correction that is simple and utilizes existing devices to achieve an increase in the feeling of depth in 2D images. Input image data are transformed into predetermined color information by a color information calculation portion11. A correction amount control portion10determines a correction gain value for the color information according to depth information that has been input. A color information correction portion12performs color information correction based on the correction amount due to the contrast between the color information of a target pixel and representative color information of the surrounding region, and the correction gain value of the correction amount control portion. An output portion13converts this into a predetermined image format and outputs the result. Thus, by correcting the color information based on the contrast effect in conjunction with the depth information of the foreground and the background, for example, it is possible to easily increase the feeling of depth in a 2D image. Moreover, by controlling the color contrast effect with the depth information when performing the color correction, it becomes possible to more easily give a sense of depth that is perceived by humans.
