摘要

By generating in advance intermediate images which have the same resolution as a stereoscopic image that is the final output image, and which integrate pixels for respective viewpoints, generation of a stereoscopic image is possible only by converting the pixel arrangement without using a high-speed and specialised computer or the like. Furthermore, using intermediate images in which images for respective viewpoints are arranged in a shape of tiles, a completely new stereoscopic image generation system can be realised in which a simple and low-cost stereoscopic image generation device generates stereoscopic images from intermediate images output or transmitted in a more standard format by a standard image output device such as a Blu-ray player, an STB, or an image distribution server.
