THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE-PICKUP APPARATUS, THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE-PICKUP METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

A sense of three-dimensionality and thickness is restored to a subject and a high-quality three-dimensional image with a low sense of a cardboard cutout effect is obtained, regardless of the cause of the cardboard cutout effect. In a three-dimensional image capturing apparatus (three-dimensional image processing apparatus) (1000), a depth generation unit (103) obtains L depth information and R depth information from a three-dimensional image, and an image correction unit (104) executes a shadow enhancement process that is stronger on the inside of an object than on the outside of the object, based on the L depth information and the R depth information. Through this, the occurrence of the cardboard cutout effect can be suppressed, and a high-quality three-dimensional image with a reduced cardboard cutout effect can be obtained.
