Abstract
According to one embodiment, a stereoscopic image converting method includes: generating a first depth map comprising depth values of pixels of an input video, wherein the depth values are estimated based on an amount of a characteristic of the input video, and wherein the depth values are represented by pixel shading; generating a second depth map by correcting the depth values of pixels within a distance from each of right and left ends of the depth map to become closer to a depth value corresponding to a screen of a display not protruding forward or recede rearward in stereoscopic viewing as the pixels within the first distance are positioned closer to the each of the right and left ends of the depth map; and generating a multi-parallax image by shifting pixels of the input video by an amount horizontally based on the depth values of the second depth map.
