Three-dimensional image processing apparatus and three-dimensional image processing method

A three-dimensional image processing apparatus that performs an image correction process, the apparatus comprising:

• a left eye image and a right eye image contained in a three-dimensional image obtained using a dual-lens technique or a multiple-viewpoint technique;
• an end part region detection unit configured to detect from the left eye image and the right eye image at least one of:
• a region including an edge on a left side of a subject contained in the left eye image and the right eye image, and
• a region including an edge on a right side of the subject contained in the left eye image and the right eye image, as an end part region;
• and
• an edge correction unit configured to execute a smoothing process on a region in at least one end part region of the subject detected by the end part region detection unit.
