Abstract: A method and an apparatus for converting 2D image into 3D image are disclosed. The method includes converting an input image having pixel values into a brightness image having brightness values, generating a depth map having depth information from the brightness image, and generating at least one of a left eye image, a right eye image and a reproduction image by first parallax-processing the input image using the generated depth map. Here, a pixel value of a delay pixel is substituted for a pixel value of a pixel to be processed at present by considering depth information of N (is integer of above 2) pixels including the pixel to be processed at present in the parallax-processing. In addition, the delay pixel is determined in accordance with arrangement of the depth information of the N pixels, and the delay pixel means a pixel located before the pixel to be processed at present by M (is integer of above 0) pixel.
