Abstract
Provided is an image generation technology capable of suppressing unpleasant feelings caused by fluctuation in image quality caused by the viewer's viewpoint movement. The image generation technology includes an image generation unit configured to generate a pseudo viewpoint image Iand a pseudo viewpoint image I, by using disparity inducing edge Dhaving a phase difference φk from a viewpoint image I, where φk(1≤k≤K) is set as a real number satisfying 0<φ< . . . <φK≤π/2, an output image generation unit configured to generate an output image Out(1≤m≤2K−1), from the pseudo viewpoint image I(1≤m≤2K+1), the viewpoint image I is set as a pseudo viewpoint image I, where the pseudo viewpoint images I, I(0≤k≤K) are arranged in a sequence of I, I, . . . , I, I(=I), I, . . . , and Iis set as I, I, . . . , I, I, I, . . . , I, and the output image Outand the output image Out(1≤m≤2K−2) include a phase modulation component that is canceled out when synthesized and visually recognized.
