20090103619 | METHOD OF CODING AND DECODING MULTIVIEW SEQUENCE AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING THEREOF - A method of coding/decoding a multiview sequence and display method thereof are disclosed, by which multiview sequence data can be efficiently coded and decoded. A multiview sequence coding method according to the present invention includes a step of generating a bit stream by encoding a plurality of pictures acquired from a plurality of views, wherein the bit stream includes view information for each of a plurality of the pictures and wherein the view information is information designating that the corresponding picture corresponds to which view among a plurality of the views. Accordingly, the multiview sequence is encoded to be selectively decoded for display. | 04-23-2009 |
20110211638 | Multi-view image processing apparatus, method and computer-readable medium - Provided is an image processing apparatus, method and computer-readable medium. When encoding a multi-view color and depth video, a motion vector calculator of the image processing apparatus may calculate a block motion vector with respect to a first viewpoint color image. A motion vector borrowing unit may borrow, as a block motion vector with respect to a second viewpoint color image, a block motion vector with respect to the first viewpoint color image based on a disparity calculated from a depth video. | 09-01-2011 |
20120189060 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENCODING AND DECODING MOTION INFORMATION AND DISPARITY INFORMATION - An apparatus and method for encoding and de1/5/2012coding motion information and disparity information are provided. The apparatus may extract a vector from peripheral blocks of a current block, which is a vector of the same type as a vector used for predicting and compensating the current block, and perform prediction and compensation of the current block using the extracted vector. | 07-26-2012 |
20120224623 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING MULTI-VIEW VIDEO USING IMAGE STITCHING - Provided is a method and apparatus for encoding and decoding multi-view video data. The encoding method includes: decomposing each view image of the multi-view video into an overlapped region and a non-overlapped region, the overlapped region being overlapped with other view image and the non-overlapped region not being overlapped with other view image; generating a stitched image by combining the non-overlapped region of each view image and a middle view image; encoding the stitched image using a first encoding algorithm; and encoding the overlapped region of each view image, using a second encoding algorithm. Further, the decomposing step includes the steps of estimating disparity information for each view image, based on a predetermined view image; and decomposing each view image into said overlapped region and said non-overlapped region using the estimated disparity information. | 09-06-2012 |
20130163856 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE, RECORDED MEDIUM THEREOF - An apparatus for enhancing a stereoscopic image may include: a color relationship extraction unit which extracts color relationships between a plurality of first coordinates in a 3-dimensional color space for a first image and second coordinates in a 3-dimensional color space for a second image corresponding to the plurality of first coordinates; a color relationship correction unit, which corrects a color relationship for any one first coordinate from among the plurality of first coordinates based on a color relationship of at least one first coordinate existing within a particular distance from the any one first coordinate; and a color value transformation unit, which transforms a color value of the first image by using the corrected color relationship of the any one first coordinate. The invention provides the advantage of accurately correcting color imbalance between the left image and right image forming a stereoscopic image. | 06-27-2013 |
