Abstract:
1. An apparatus for enhancing a stereoscopic image, the apparatus comprising a processor configured to provide: a color relationship extraction unit configured to extract color relationships between a plurality of first coordinates in a 3-dimensional color space for a first image and second coordinates in a 3-dimensional color space for a second image corresponding to the plurality of first coordinates; a color relationship correction unit configured to correct a color relationship for any one first coordinate from among the plurality of first coordinates based on a color relationship of at least one first coordinate existing within a particular distance from the any one first coordinate; a color value transformation unit configured to transform a color value of the first image by using the corrected color relationship of the any one first coordinate; wherein the plurality of first coordinates are coordinates of a plurality of first pixels forming the first image, and the plurality of second coordinates are coordinates of a plurality of second pixels forming the second image; wherein the color relationship correction unit is configured to: wherein the color relationship correction unit corrects the color relationship of the any one first pixel according to equations listed below: where (p, q) is a position of the any one first pixel, W is the particular area, (i, j) is a position of each of the two or more first pixels existing within the particular area, Y(i, j) is a vector in a 3-dimensional color space for each of the two or more first pixels located at (i, j), A(i, j) is a color relationship of each of the two or more first pixels located at (i, j), Td is the particular distance, D
