Abstract:
1. A depth information generating device comprising: a non-transitory memory device storing a program; and a hardware processor configured to execute the program and cause the depth information generating device to operate as: a region extracting unit configured to detect a human face region in at least one two-dimensional image, and extract a human figure region using a human figure premask selected based on a position of the detected human face region and that includes the detected human face region, the size of the human figure premask being changed according to a size of the detected human face region and being selected among a plurality of human figure premasks which are a plurality of pieces of data on a face feature pattern and a plurality of pieces of region data of a human model stored in a memory in advance, the human figure region indicating the human figure within a region in the at least one two-dimensional image; and a generating unit configured to generate a depth map for separating the human figure region from a region other than the human figure region by giving a depth value different from a depth value of the region other than the human figure region to the human figure region, wherein the human figure premask includes a face region that is the human face region, and a body region that is a region other than the face region.
