Abstract:
1. A parallax image generation device for generating, from a two-dimensional image that is a processing target, two parallax images necessary for depicting a three-dimensional image, the parallax images having mutual parallax, the device comprising: an obtainment unit configured to obtain a depth image which is defined by a plurality of pixels having depth values, each of the plurality of pixels having a corresponding one of the depth values; a depth value correction unit configured to define a width L from an end of the depth image based on input data, and perform correction processing on a depth value of a pixel in a correction target area, from among the depth values of the pixels which define the depth image, to shift a position corresponding to the depth value of the pixel to be closer to a display screen as the depth value of the pixel is located closer to an end of the depth image, the display screen being for displaying a parallax image, and the correction target area being an area having the width L from the end of the depth image; and a parallax image generation unit configured to generate a first parallax image and a second parallax image having mutual parallax, using the two-dimensional image and the depth image corrected through the correction processing.
