Abstract
Disclosed is an image processor generating a three-dimensional image easily three-dimensionally viewed by, and hardly causing fatigue of, an observer, and easily adjusting a three-dimensional effect of an arbitrary portion in the three-dimensional image. The disparity correction portioncorrects a disparity of the input disparity image within a predetermined range and outputs a disparity image storing the corrected disparity to the disparity conversion portion. The disparity conversion portionconverts the disparity of the disparity image such that a disparity corresponding to the image of the main object determined by the main object determination portionreaches a predetermined value, and outputs the disparity image obtained after the conversion to an image generation portion. The image generation portiongenerates an image for the left eye and an image for the right eye based on the input disparity image and the input captured image, and outputs the images to a display apparatus. As a result, the disparity is converted such that the three-dimensional effect of the main object is enhanced.
