Abstract:
A three-Dimensional (3D) image conversion apparatus for converting a two-Dimensional (2D) image into a 3D image and a method for controlling the 3D image conversion apparatus are provided. The method includes displaying the 2D image to be converted into the 3D image, receiving a user input designating at least one object included in the 2D image, obtaining boundaries of the at least one object included in the 2D image based on the received user input to identify each of the at least one object, analyzing the 2D image including the at least one object to obtain depth information of each of the at least one object, and arranging the identified each of the at least one object based on the obtained depth information to generate the 3D image.
