Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a modifying unit configured to modify depth information representing depths in individual pixels of an image in accordance with content included in the image, thereby generating modified depth information, and an enhancing unit configured to perform a stereoscopic effect enhancement process of enhancing a stereoscopic effect of the image by using the modified depth information generated by the modifying unit.
Claims15
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- modify depth information representing depths in individual pixels of an image in accordance with content included in the image, thereby generating modified depth information;
- perform a stereoscopic effect enhancement process of enhancing a stereoscopic effect of the image by using the modified depth information;
- and
- classify each of the individual pixels of the image into one of a plurality of classes in accordance with a pattern of pixel values of one or more sets of the individual pixels and the modified depth information.
