Abstract

The present invention includes the steps of: generating a temporary left parallax image using the pixel value of the left parallax pixels of the first image for each pixel; generating a temporary right parallax image using the pixel value of the right parallax pixels of the first image for each pixel; generating a standard view point image using the pixel values of at least the non-parallax pixels of the first image for each pixel; generating an edge enhanced standard view point image, by carrying out an edge enhancement process on the standard view point image; and generating a left direction view point image and a right direction view point image based on the edge enhanced standard view point image and the temporary left parallax image and the temporary right parallax image for each pixel.
