CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a U.S. National Phase of International Patent Application No. PCT/JP2018/039217 filed on Oct. 22, 2018, which claims priority benefit of Japanese Patent Application No. JP 2018-013617 filed in the Japan Patent Office on Jan. 30, 2018. Each of the above-referenced applications is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to an image processor, an image processing method, and a program.

BACKGROUND ART

In recent years, various techniques have been proposed in which a head-tracking sensor is mounted on an HMD (Head Mounted Display) and images generated (rendered) from a viewpoint depending on a position of a head and a posture of a user are displayed on the HMD (e.g., PTL 1 listed below).

The technique that enables the user to view a content while freely changing the viewpoint in this manner is also called a free viewpoint image technique, which is able to give the user a sense of immersion as if in a different space.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Problem to be Solved by the Invention

In the technique described above, it has been desired to further enhance a sense of immersion as if in a different space.

Means for Solving the Problem

According to the present disclosure, there is provided an image processor including: an acquisition section that acquires visible pixel information regarding a pixel viewed by a user in an image; and an image processing section that performs blur processing on the image on a basis of depth information indicating a depth value corresponding to each of pixels of the image, in which the image processing section performs the blur processing on a basis of the visible pixel information and the depth information during a predetermined period after the visible pixel information is acquired.

In addition, according to the present disclosure, there is provided an image processing method including: acquiring visible pixel information regarding a pixel viewed by a user in an image; and causing a processor to perform blur processing on the image on a basis of depth information indicating a depth value corresponding to each of pixels of the image, in which the blur processing is performed on the pixel viewed by the user in the image on a basis of the visible pixel information and the depth information during a predetermined period after the visible pixel information is acquired.

In addition, according to the present disclosure, there is provided a program that causes a computer to function as an image processor, in which the image processor includes an acquisition section that acquires visible pixel information regarding a pixel viewed by a user in an image, and an image processing section that performs blur processing on the image on a basis of depth information indicating a depth value corresponding to each of pixels of the image, in which the image processing section performs the blur processing on a basis of the visible pixel information and the depth information during a predetermined period after the visible pixel information is acquired.

Effect of the Invention

As described above, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to further enhance a sense of immersion as if in a different space.

It is to be noted that the above-mentioned effects are not necessarily limitative; in addition to or in place of the above effects, there may be achieved any of the effects described in the present specification or other effects that may be grasped from the present specification.
