  • Publication number: 20250069244
    Abstract: A data processing device processes a depth map in which a depth value is mapped to each pixel of an image displayed on a display. There is a region setting unit, a histogram generation unit, a mapping function generation unit, a first correction processing unit, and a second correction processing unit. The region setting unit sets a contact region in contact with a display surface in the depth map that is a processing target. The histogram generation unit generates a histogram in which the number of pixels belonging to each bin is associated with one of a plurality of bins dividing a range of depth values for a non-contact region that is a region other than the contact region of the depth map. The mapping function generation unit performs clustering of the histogram into a plurality of depth layers.
