Claim Text:
1. A method for generating a three-dimensional (3D) image, the method comprising: acquiring a source image and depth information of the source image; determining, by shifting some pixels of the source image according to the depth information, an overlapping region in which a plurality of pixels overlap and a hole region in which there are no pixels, and calculating a weight for the overlapping region with a processor, using distance information with respect to a foreground region of the source image and a background region of the source image; generating, using the depth information and at least one of the overlapping region and the hole region, a foreground-depth image in which the foreground region is extended and a background-depth image in which the background region is extended; generating a foreground image using the source image and the foreground-depth image; generating a background image using the source image and the background-depth image; and generating, using the weight from the overlapping region, at least one of a left-eye image and a right-eye image with respect to the source image by synthesizing the foreground image and the background image.
