Abstract
An image processing apparatus including a region of interest (ROI) configuration unit may generate a visual attention map according to visual characteristics of a human in relation to an input three dimensional (3D) image. A disparity adjustment unit may adjust disparity information, included in the input 3D image, using the visual attention map. Using the disparity information adjusted result, a 3D image may be generated and displayed which reduces a level of visual fatigue a user may experience in viewing the 3D image.
