Abstract
Provided is an image processing method and apparatus for improving image quality and enhancing a three-dimensional effect. By extracting an interest feature index from an input image based on a depth sensation estimation cue existing in the image, calculating an interest feature index integration map based on the interest feature index and importance of interest of the depth sensation estimation cue, and performing discrimination processing of the image based on the interest feature index integration map, three-dimensional effect and true sensation enhancement processing can be performed based on the probability of the existence of a depth sensation estimation cue, without segmentation of an object of interest, correct depth information, or an object model.
