Abstract
A method and device for converting 3D images are disclosed herein. The method include the steps of analyzing a 2-dimensional (2D) image and generating 2D image information, generating a global depth and a local depth by using the generated 2D image information, the global depth corresponding to 3D effect pattern information of the 2D image and the local depth corresponding to 3D effect information of an object included in the 2D image, and generating a depth map by using the global depth and the local depth, wherein the depth map corresponds to 3D effect information of the 2D image, and generating a 3D image configured of a left-eye image and a right-eye image by using the 2D image and the depth map.
