The present invention executes color correction that improves the feeling of depth of a 2D image with ease and by using a preexisting device. Input image data is first converted into brightness information by a brightness information calculation portion. The interest level within the image is then estimated by an interest level estimation portion based on that information. The vanishing point is then estimated by a vanishing point estimation portion. Next, a depth estimation portion estimates the degree of depth based on the distance from the vanishing point to a pixel i and the interest level of the pixel i, and calculates a depth correction gain value. A corrected image, obtained by controlling a depth correction image process based on the depth correction gain value, is converted to a predetermined image format and outputted by an output portion.
