Patent attributes
Technology is provided for changing one or more image attributes pertaining to depth perception in a two-dimensional image to emphasize the perceived stereoscopy of the two-dimensional image and achieve a sensation upon viewing the two-dimensional image that is close to a sensation perceived from viewing a binocular stereoscopic image. Binocular stereoscopic image data including image data from two perspectives, for right vision and left vision, are input. A user selects the preferred one of the right vision image data and the left vision image data using an image selection unit, a planar image generating unit extracts the selected image data from the binocular stereoscopic image data, and an image output unit outputs the extracted planar image data.
