Abstract:
It is an object to obtain a high-resolution image generation apparatus that can generate a high-quality image by sorting out good portions from faulty portions in optical flow. The present invention includes: a hard disk that stores multi-viewpoint image information and parameter information of a base image and a plurality of reference images; an optical flow computation unit that extracts a plurality of pairs of the base image and a reference image, the plurality of pairs each including a different reference image, and computes optical flow for each pair; a depth information computation unit that computes depth information which indicates depth of each pixel of the base image for each pair, based on optical flow and the parameter information; and an optical flow sorting unit that determines whether or not each piece of pixel-based correspondence information included in the optical flow of each pair is to be used for improving a resolution of the base image, based on two pieces of the depth information.
