An apparatus and a method for rendering three-dimensional stereoscopic images are provided. The apparatus comprises a multi-view processor, an object device, a depth device, and a block filling device. The multi-view processor obtains depth related data of a first pixel and a second pixel which are adjacent to each other on the input image, calculates a difference between the depth related data and determines whether the first pixel and the second pixel are continuous according to the difference. The object device executes a process of object detection to output contour information. The depth device executes a process of object judgment to output distance information. The block filling device detects a hole region in each viewpoint image, searches a search region adjacent to the hole region for a number of original pixels, and fills the hole region.

Apparatus and method for inpainting three-dimensional stereoscopic image

A stereo image depth map generation device that includes a depth calculation module, a first order bilateral filter module and a second order bilateral filter module is provided. The depth calculation module receives a reference image including a plurality of reference pixels and a target image including a plurality of target pixels to generate an initial depth map according to pixel differences of the reference pixels and the target pixels. The first order bilateral filter module receives the initial depth map to perform a first order bilateral filtering calculation according to the initial depth map and the initial depth map itself to generate an averaged depth map. The second order bilateral filter module receives the averaged depth map and the target image to perform a second order bilateral filtering calculation according to the averaged depth map and the target image to generate a refined depth map.
