DEPTH ESTIMATION DATA GENERATING DEVICE, COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM HAVING DEPTH ESTIMATION DATA GENERATING PROGRAM RECORDED THEREON, AND PSEUDO-STEREO IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A depth estimation data generating device includes a difference data generator and negative and positive shift amount generators. The difference data generator calculates the difference between a non-stereo image and the average value data of the average brightness of the non-stereo image to generate the difference data. The negative shift amount generator generates a negative shift amount, wherein the difference data generated using the minimum value data of the minimum brightness of the non-stereo image has a minimum value of shift amount and the shift amount approaches zero from the minimum value as the difference data approaches zero. The positive shift amount generator generates a positive shift amount, wherein the difference data generated using the maximum value data of the maximum brightness of the non-stereo image has a maximum value of shift amount and the shift amount approaches zero from the maximum value as the difference data approaches zero.
