A multiview image synthesizing apparatus using a depth map of a stereo camera includes a multiview image synthesizing unit (200) for converting an image signal input from first and second cameras (100, 110) to a digital signal and outputting a value of a depth map at a position of a virtual camera located at an arbitrary position between the first and second cameras (100, 110), a multiview image re-projection unit (300) for calculating a mapping pixel index of a multiview re-projection image for the virtual camera set by a user, and receiving the digital signal transmitted from the multiview image synthesizing unit (200), and outputting the calculated mapping pixel index, and a pixel selection unit (400) for selecting a predetermined pixel to display an overlapping pixel of the digital signal input through the multiview image synthesizing unit (200), by using an output signal output from the multiview image re-projection unit (300). Thus, an image of a virtual camera set by a user is produced in real time by using a stereo image sequence using the serial processing step of a depth map and a recurrence algorithm. <IMAGE>
