Abstract
An apparatus and method of generating an immersion is provided. The apparatus for generating the immersion includes: a foreground/background separation unit to separate an input image into a foreground area and a background area using lightness information of the input image; an edge classification unit to classify the foreground area into an edge area and a non-edge area using the lightness information; a detail enhancement unit to enhance detail of the edge area of the foreground area; and a blurring performing unit to perform blurring of the non-edge area and the background area.

An apparatus for generating an immersion, the apparatus comprising:
- a foreground/background separation unit to separate an input image into a foreground area and a background area using lightness information of the input image;
- an edge classification unit to classify the foreground area into an edge area and a non-edge area using the lightness information;
- a detail enhancement unit to enhance detail of the edge area of the foreground area;
- and
- a blurring performing unit to perform blurring of the non-edge area and the background area.
A method of generating an immersion, the method comprising:
- separating an input image into a foreground area and a background area using lightness information of the input image;
- classifying the foreground area into an edge area and a non-edge area using the lightness information;
- enhancing detail of the edge area of the foreground area;
- and
- performing blurring of the non-edge area and the background area.
