Method and apparatus for generating stereoscopic image from two-dimensional image by using mesh map
Provided are a method and apparatus for generating a stereoscopic image from a two-dimensional (2D) image by using a mesh map and a computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer program for executing the method. Also provided are a method and apparatus for generating a stereoscopic image by reading a 2D image, displaying the 2D image and a mesh map by overlapping the 2D image and the mesh map, and editing mesh shapes and depth information (depth values) of the mesh map by a user, and a computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer program for executing the method. The method of generating a stereoscopic image includes receiving a 2D image; displaying the 2D image and a mesh map by overlapping the 2D image and the mesh map; editing mesh shapes and depth information (depth values) of the mesh map by a user in accordance with shapes of a displayed image; calculating relative depth information of pixels included in the 2D image in accordance with the mesh shapes and the depth information of the edited mesh map; and generating a stereoscopic image file by using the calculated relative depth information of the 2D image. The present invention may be used in a system for generating a stereoscopic image from a 2D image including a general still image or moving picture.
