Abstract

A method and a device for generating a multi-views three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic image are based on displaying positions of target image elements of each view image of a multi-views 3D stereoscopic image in a 3D stereo display. Source image elements suitable to be displayed at each displaying position are obtained from a 2D-depth mixed image formed by combining a source 2D image and a corresponding depth map through an inverse view image searching manner, thereby generating a multi-views 3D stereoscopic image from the set target image elements for being displayed in the 3D stereo display.
