Abstract
For generating a destination image (a left-eye image) from an original image and a height map thereof, the height of the height map of the original image is compared with the height of the height map of the destination image, and if a pixel of the original image is higher, the pixel of the original image is copied to a pixel of the destination image. After the pixel of the original image is copied to the pixel of the destination image, the height of the pixel of the original image is decremented. The pixel of the original image is copied in the rightward direction to pixels of the destination image until the height of the pixel of the original image becomes 0 or until a height of the pixel of the destination image becomes lower than that of the pixel of the original image. The same processes are performed on each pixel of the original image, and thereby the left-eye image is generated.
