A system to generate a three-dimensional image from a two-dimensional image in accordance with the mixture state of images. A foreground/background component image generator generates, from image data including a foreground area consisting of only foreground object components, a background area consisting of only background object components, and a mixed area in which the foreground object components and the background object components are mixed, a foreground component image consisting of only the foreground object components and a background component image consisting of only the background object components. A foreground-parallax-image generator generates a right-eye foreground parallax image by adding the parallax to the foreground component image, and also generates a left-eye foreground parallax image by adding the parallax to the foreground component image. A synthesizer generates a right-eye parallax image by combining the right-eye foreground parallax image with a background image, and a synthesizer generates a left-eye parallax image by combining the left-eye foreground parallax image with the background image.
