Abstract

A technique that enables an image distortion caused on a pseudo image of an object to be reduced is provided. In order to achieve the object, an image processor includes a first obtaining section for obtaining a base image, a second obtaining section for obtaining first pieces of distance information, a first generating section for generating second pieces of distance information by executing a process for reducing dispersion of the first pieces of distance information, and a second generating section for generating a pseudo image constituting a stereoscopic image. The first generating section executes the reducing process so that strength for reducing the dispersion of the first pieces of distance information in a second direction crossing a first direction on an original distance image relating to the first pieces of distance information is stronger than strength for reducing the dispersion in the first direction on the original distance image.
