A method and apparatus for converting a digital image of one or more objects to interpolated three-dimensional image data for producing substantially realistic three-dimensional images. The method includes providing a digital image file (108) containing digital image pixels, wherein the pixels having a structural contour relationship to the one or more objects. The digital image pixels are converted to contour corrected pixels to provide a contoured image file (110). An output image file is built from the contoured image file so that the output image file may be projected on an image output device (136). The method and apparatus provide substantially improved three-dimensional images for viewing on a variety of image output devices.
