Abstract

A two-dimensional image can be displayed in a desired position, a desired aspect ratio of the display image can be maintained, and such an elemental image array as to maximize an interpolating effect can be produced. A producing method of an elemental image array for three-dimensional image display includes: converting the resolution of the two-dimensional image into substantially the same resolution of a three-dimensional image display device; obtaining multipoint images by shifting the position to sample the two-dimensional image after the resolution conversion at regular intervals in the horizontal direction; and rearranging the multipoint images according to the positional relationship between exit pupils and projecting directions.
