Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for synthesizing virtual viewpoint image. The apparatus for synthesizing virtual viewpoint images includes one or more processors, and an execution memory for storing at least one program that is executed by the one or more processors, wherein the at least one program is configured to receive multiple viewpoint images from cameras that capture images of multiple viewpoints, and back-project the multiple viewpoint images onto a world coordinate system in a three-dimensional (3D) space, generate warped images by performing triangular warping of projecting the multiple viewpoint images, back-projected onto the world coordinate system, onto a virtual viewpoint image coordinate system, and generate a finally synthesized virtual viewpoint image by blending the warped images.
