Abstract
A depth information generating device includes a region extracting unit that detects a human face in at least one two-dimensional image, and based on the detected face, extracts a human figure region indicating a human figure within a region of the at least one two-dimensional image; and a depth map generating unit that gives a depth value different from a depth value of a region other than the human figure region to the human figure region to generate a depth map that separates the human figure region from the region other than the human figure region.
