Abstract
Provided are an image generation apparatus, three-dimensional image display apparatus, image generation method and non-transitory computer readable medium. An image generation apparatus for generating a virtual-viewpoint image, includes a disparity-image-generating section which generates a disparity image corresponding to a two-dimensional image, by using a depth image and a parameter of a virtual camera; a disparity-image-correcting section which corrects the disparity image based on contour lines extracted from the two-dimensional image and the disparity image, or corrects the depth image to be used for generating the disparity image based on contour lines extracted from the two-dimensional image and the depth image; an pixel-shift-processing section which shifts each pixel of the two-dimensional image according to the corrected disparity image, to generate an intermediate image; and a unfixed-pixel-area-interpolating section which interpolates unfixed pixels to which the shifted pixels have been assigned in the intermediate image, to generate the virtual-viewpoint image.
