PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inexpensively convert a two-dimensional still image into a three- dimensional image by dividing a full area included in a single field into groups for each object included in the image and generating the information on the distance of the image of every group. SOLUTION: A field is divided into 60 areas, for example, and the integration value is calculated by the circuits 8, 9, 31 and 32 for the high frequency component, the luminance contrast and the color differences R-Y and B-Y of a luminance signal Y respectively and inputted to a CPU 3. The CPU 3 divides a full area of a single field into groups so as to include the areas whose image feature values are approximate to each other in the same group and generates the distance information on the image of each group based on the image feature value concerning the distance of image of every parallax calculation area. Furthermore, the image vertical position information is added for generation of the information on the distance of image of every parallax calculation area. Then the pixel delay FIFO 11 to 23 are controlled for every parallax calculation area via a parallax control circuit 4, and the distance information is converted into the right-left parallax information in every area. |
