Abstract
To reduce burden of a viewer at the time of performing stereoscopic display by a stereoscopic display device and to show a stereoscopic image in a natural and comfortable manner. A disparity estimating unitestimates disparity from the left and right images of an input image to generate a disparity map. A disparity analyzing unitanalyzes the disparity map to generate a disparity control parameter for performing suitable disparity control. A disparity control unitcontrols the content of processing at an image conversion unitin accordance with the disparity control parameter. The image conversion unitperforms image conversion on the input image based on the control by the disparity control unitto output an output image. The image conversion unitperforms image conversion of two steps. The image conversion unitperforms shift processing for shifting the relative positions of the left and right images of the input image in the horizontal direction as first step image conversion, for example. The image conversion unitperforms scaling processing for performing enlargement/reduction of the entire screen with each center of the left and right images as a reference, as second step image conversion, for example.
