The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for converting a two-dimensional image into a stereoscopic three-dimensional image. In one embodiment, a method of converting a two-dimensional image into a stereoscopic three-dimensional image comprises identifying at least one corresponding pixel from a left eye image and determining a depth and an intensity value for the each pixel within a right eye image using the at least one corresponding pixel. The depth value is stored in a right eye depth map and the intensity value is stored in the right eye image. The method further comprises inpainting at least one occluded region within the right eye image using the right eye depth map.
