ABSTRACT:
The present invention aims to generate a stereoscopic image that appears natural when viewed by a viewer, without reduction in quality of the image.In an apparatus for generating a stereoscopic image according to the present invention, a pixel value (G) for each of pixels (Pix) comprising an original image (IMG0) is stored in a RAM (23). A CPU (10) calculates a depth value (Z) for each of the pixels (Pix) included in the original image based on a comparison between the pixel value (G) of a target pixel Pix and a pixel value (G) of an adjacent pixel lying in the same line of the target pixel (Pix), so as to generate a stereoscopic image based on the calculated depth values (Z).
