Abstract
Provided is an image processing device including a congruence degree detecting unit which detects a degree of congruence of each of multiple scenes with respect to an input image made of a two-dimensional image, a depth image generating unit which generates, with respect to the input image, depth images each obtained by a technique corresponding to each of the scenes, a blending unit which blends the depth images, which are generated by the depth image generating unit and each generated by a technique corresponding to each of the scenes, at a blending ratio based on the degree of congruence of each of the scenes, to generate a blended depth image, and a three-dimensional image generating unit which generates a three-dimensional image, which can be viewed three-dimensionally, made of a left-eye image and a right-eye image generated by shifting each pixel of the input image using the blended depth image.
