1. An apparatus for converting a two-dimensional image sequence into a three-dimensional image, comprising:

  • a block motion measuring portion for measuring a motion vector for each block of a current image divided into blocks having a predetermined size using a previous image frame;

    a horizontal disparity generating portion for obtaining a horizontal disparity from the motion vector of each block according to the motion characteristic of the current image;

    an image generating portion for moving each block in a horizontal direction according to each horizontal disparity and generating a composite image; and

    an outputting portion for displaying a three-dimensional image comprised of the current image and the composite image.
