Summary:An image processing method for providing corresponding depth information according to an input image is provided. This method includes the following steps. First, a reference image is generated according to the input image. Next, the input image and the reference image are divided into a number of input image blocks and a number of reference image blocks, respectively. Then, according to a number of input pixel data of each input image block and a number of reference pixel data of each reference image block, respective variance magnitudes of the input image blocks are obtained. Next, the input image is divided into a number of segmentation regions. Then, the depth information is generated according to the corresponding variance magnitudes of the input image blocks which each segmentation region covers substantially.
