Abstract:
Stereoscopic video is encoded and decoded by using the MAC defined by the existing MPEG-4 standard. The stereoscopic video is divided into one image as a single video object, and another image as auxiliary information for the image established as the video object. The auxiliary information includes a horizontal disparity map, a vertical disparity map, luminance residual texture, and chrominance residual texture, which are respectively allocated to auxiliary components of the MAC according to importance and complexity of the images, encoded, and then output as a single encoding stream.
Abstract:
Provided are a multi-display supporting multi-view video object-based encoding apparatus and method, and an object-based transmission/reception system and method using the encoding apparatus and method. The encoding apparatus includes: a shape abstracting means for receiving right/left-eye image object video and abstracting right/ left object image, respectively, to abstract the shape information of a multi-view video; a data separating means for receiving the right/left-eye image object video, and the right/left shape information, and separating them into odd-field objects and even field objects to transmit only the essential bit streams for a user display mode; a shape compensation means for compensating for the distortion of the shape information separated into odd and even fields; and an object-based encoding means for receiving the object-based information from the shape compensation means and the object-based information from the data separating means, forming four layers, and performing motion and disparity estimation to encode object-based data that are separated into odd and even lines.
Abstract:
An MPEG system for processing stereoscopic/multiview three-dimensional video comprises a compressor (10) for processing input stereoscopic/multiview three- dimensional video data to generate field-based elementary streams of multiple channels, and integrating the multi-channel elementary streams into a single-channel elementary stream, a packetizer (20) for receiving the sinlge-channel elementary stream from the compressor (10) per access unit and packetizing the received single-channel elementary streams into a packetized stream, and a transmitter (30) for multiplexing the packetized stream into a multipixed stream for transmitting or storing the same, wherein the multiplexed stream includes viewpoint information including the number of viewpoint that the packetized stream provides.
Abstract:
Provided are a three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic digital broadcasting transmitting/receiving apparatus and method using 3D stereoscopic video additional data. The apparatus and method is compatible with a two-dimensional (2D) digital broadcasting system by defining and processing 3D stereoscopic video additional data, such as another 3D video, disparity information, and depth information, as an additional stream added to a 2D video transport stream, which is different from the conventional method that provides a 3D stereoscopic digital broadcasting system by using video of another viewpoint. The 3D stereoscopic digital broadcast transmitting apparatus includes: a video acquiring unit; an audio data acquiring unit, an encoding unit, a program specific information (PSI) generating unit, a packetizing unit, a transport stream (TS) generating unit, a multiplexing unit, and a modulating unit.
Abstract:
Provided is a five sensory data synchronizing and transmitting apparatus and method, and an actual-feeling multimedia data providing system and method using the same. The five sensory data synchronizing and transmitting apparatus and method forms packets by describing vibration, and odor and a taste expressed in video/audio based on touch, odor and taste data descriptors and synchronizes the touch/odor/taste packets with video/audio packets on a frame basis; and then, the actual-feeling multimedia data providing system and method demultiplexes the received packets transmitted from the five sensory data synchronizing and transmitting apparatus into video data, audio data, touch data, odor data and taste data and transmits them to corresponding devices to thereby provide a user with an actual-feeling multimedia service.
Abstract:
Provided is a metadata structure for storing and reproducing stereoscopic data and a method for storing a stereoscopic content file based on the metadata structure. The stereoscopic content file storing method includes storing streams of the stereoscopic contents; and, when the stereoscopic content has more than two elementary streams, storing information for dividing the elementary streams into a main track and a supplementary track.
Abstract:
Provided is a metadata structure for storing and re-producing stereoscopic data and a method for storing a stereoscopic content file based on the metadata structure. The stereoscopic content file storing method includes storing streams of the stereoscopic contents; and, when the stereoscopic content has more than two elementary streams, storing information for dividing the elementary streams into a main track and a supplementary track.
