Depth Image-Based Rendering

摘要

Provided are an apparatus and method for processing an image. The image processing apparatus that generates a three-dimensional (3D) video signal corresponding to a two-dimensional (2D) video signal includes: an image receiver which receives a frame of a 2D video signal containing a background and an object; and an image processor which determines a hole area caused by a shift of the object based on depth information of the object, and inpaints the hole area according to layer information of the background and th e object. Accordingly, there ar e provided an apparatus and method for processing an image, in which a hole area is naturally and easily inpainted.
