Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and method for converting a two-dimensional (2D) image into a three-dimensional (3D) image. The method includes generating a first depth map by estimating depth information of an input image, wherein the input image is a 2D image; analyzing characteristics of the input image; predicting an error of the first depth map; determining a parameter for adjusting the first depth map based on the analyzed characteristics of the input image and the predicted error of the first depth map; adjusting the first depth map based on the determined parameter; and generating a 3D image of the input image based on the adjusted first depth map.
