Claim:
1. An image enlarging apparatus for a 3D display image, comprising: a region designation and detection unit configured to designate an enlargement region in the 3D display image based on enlargement region information, and to detect, from source view images, detection regions corresponding to the enlargement region of the 3D display image, wherein the 3D display image is formed based on the source view images, and the source view images comprise different views of a scene at a point in time; an enlargement rate determination unit configured to determine an enlargement rate of the enlargement region; and a scalable multiplexing unit configured to multiplex non-detection regions other than the detection regions in the source view images in a predetermined resolution, and to multiplex the detection regions in a resolution different from that of the non-detection regions, on the basis of the enlargement rate, wherein an enlargement rate for image enlargement without deteriorating resolution has a range represented by: wherein (O≦I), wherein X_Ratio denotes an enlargement rate of X axis, wherein Y_Ratio denotes an enlargement rate of Y axis, Ix and Iy represent a resolution of a source view image, and wherein Ox and Oy represent a resolution of a source view image multiplexed and displayed in a multiview display.
