Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating three-dimensional (3D) image data by using 2D image data including a dummy component and an image component relating to an input image, wherein the dummy component is used to adjust a resolution of the input image, are provided. The method includes: generating a depth map that corresponds to the 2D image data; detecting a dummy area including the dummy component from the 2D image data; and correcting depth values of pixels that correspond to the dummy area in the depth map.
