Abstract
A viewpoint position determination unit is configured to determine whether a viewpoint indicated by a viewpoint array signal is closer to a left-eye viewpoint or a right-eye viewpoint. A coefficient generation unit is configured to generate a coefficient based on the viewpoint array signal. A first selector is configured to select either a left-eye viewpoint image signal or a right-eye viewpoint image signal. A second selector is configured to select either a left-eye viewpoint depth value or a right-eye viewpoint depth value. A multiplier is configured to multiply the left-eye viewpoint depth value or the right-eye viewpoint depth value by the coefficient. A pixel shift unit is configured to carry out a pixel shift on the left-eye viewpoint image signal and the right-eye viewpoint image signal according to the depth value output from the multiplier, so as to generate a multi-viewpoint image signal.
