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

摘要

Provided is a three-dimensional image-pickup apparatus, wherein, even when a [cardboard cut-out] phenomenon occurs on a three-dimensional image due to whatever cause, three-dimensional effect and thickness effect of the subject is restored, and a high-grade three-dimensional image without so much [cardboard cut-out] effect is obtained. In the three-dimensional image-pickup apparatus (three-dimensional image processing apparatus) (1000), a depth generating unit (103) obtains L-depth information and R-depth information from a three-dimensional image, and an image correction unit (104) conducts shade-emphasizing processing that is stronger in intensity inside an object than outside thereof, on the basis of the L-depth information and the R-depth information. In such a way, the [cardboard cut-out] phenomenon can be inhibited from occurring, and a high-grade three-dimensional image without so much [cardboard cut-out] effect can be obtained.
