Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for filling a blank area of MPI view plane based on a pixel ray path. A method for generating multi plane image (MPI) data according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise: calculating a pixel value according to each view for each photographed object, based on a plurality of input images photographed from a plurality of views; generating a view plane at a specific point by recording the calculated pixel value on one MPI layer determined based on the spatial position of the corresponding photographed object among a plurality of MPI layers; and generating MPI data by additionally recording the pixel value for the view.
