Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a processor; and memory, wherein one or more sections and blocks are stored in the memory and executed by the processor, the one or more sections and blocks including: a depth-adjustment-quantity determination section configured to determine a depth adjustment quantity of an input three-dimensional image; an evaluation-function storage section configured to store an evaluation function representing a relation between an input value and a subjective depth quantity, wherein said input value is the sum of N products each obtained as a result of multiplying the contrast of each individual one of spatial-frequency components included in said input three-dimensional image by a weight assigned to said individual spatial-frequency component for a case in which said spatial-frequency components included in said entire input three-dimensional image are classified into N spatial-frequency components, wherein N is a variable integer greater than zero; an input-value-adjustment-quantity determination section configured to determine an adjustment quantity of said input value on the basis of said evaluation function to serve as an adjustment quantity corresponding to said depth adjustment quantity determined by said depth-adjustment-quantity determination section; an adjustment-gain computation block configured to compute a gain value of each of said spatial-frequency components on the basis of said adjustment quantity determined by said input-value-adjustment-quantity determination section to serve as said adjustment quantity of said input value; and an image adjustment block configured to adjust said spatial-frequency components of said input three-dimensional image in accordance with said gain values computed by said adjustment-gain computation block for said spatial-frequency components respectively.
