THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING STEREOSCOPIC EFFECT OF IMAGE
First Claim
1. A three-dimensional image display apparatus comprising:
- a disparity estimator which estimates a disparity between a first image and a second image, wherein the first image is obtained by photographing an object from a first angle, and the second image is obtained by photographing the object from a second angle;
a computing unit which computes an adjustment disparity between the first image and the second image using a histogram obtained by computing a frequency of the estimated disparity; and
an output unit which applies the computed adjustment disparity to the first image and the second image, and outputs the first image and the second image in which the disparity is adjusted.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) image display apparatus for enhancing a stereoscopic effect of an image is provided. The 3D image display apparatus includes a disparity estimator which estimates the disparity between a first image and a second image which are obtained by photographing the same object from different angles; a computing unit which computes the adjustment disparity between the first image and the second image using a histogram obtained by computing the frequency of the estimated disparity; and an output unit which applies the computed adjustment disparity to the first image and the second image and outputs the first image and the second image in which the disparity is adjusted. Therefore, the input disparity between the first image and the second image is adjusted, and an image with an enhanced stereoscopic effect may be provided to a user.
