Abstract
According to one embodiment, a parallax image generation apparatus comprises a calculation unit and a generation unit. The calculation unit is configured to calculate a distance between a target pixel value of a target pixel contained in an input image and a representative pixel value, and calculating a depth of the target pixel in a stereoscopic space in accordance with the distance. The generation unit is configured to generate, based on the depth, at least one parallax image corresponding to a view point different from that of the input image.
