Abstract
A depth image conversion unit moves an edge location in an input depth image towards a background. A pixel shift unit generates an image from a different viewpoint by horizontally shifting coordinates of each pixel in an image based on a converted depth image. A pixel interpolation unit interpolates a missing pixel region yielded by pixel shifting.
