There are provided a method and an apparatus for generating a multi-viewpoint depth map, and a method for generating a disparity of a multi-viewpoint image. A method for generat ing a multi-viewpoint depth map according to the present invention includes the steps of:(a) acquiring a multi-view point image constituted by a plurality of images by using a plurality of cameras (b) acquiring an image and depth infor mation by using a depth camera;(c) estimating coordinates of the same point in a space in the plurality of images by using the acquired depth information;(d) determining disparities in the plurality of images with respect to in the same point by searching a predetermined region around the estimated coor dinates; and (e) generating a multi-viewpoint depth map by using the determined disparities. According to the above mentioned present invention, it is possible to generate a multi viewpoint depth map within …
