Abstract:
The present invention relates to a 3DTV service providing method based on declarative content and a device thereof. The 3DTV service providing method comprises the following steps: receiving 3DTV content containing declarative content; setting a stereo view volume for arranging multimedia factors of the declarative content in a 3D space based on information on stereoscopic structure included in the declarative content; dividing the multimedia factors of the declarative content according to factor or meaning; producing a scene after arranging the divided multimedia factors in the stereo view volume; acquiring a left eye image and a right eye image for the scene based on the virtual left eye and right eye cameras inside of the stereo view volume; and providing a stereoscopic 3DTV service for a user by stereoscopic-rendering the left eye and right eye images. The declarative content includes at least one among the information comprising stereoscopic structure such as the view point information, view volume setting information, or disparity information.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a non-real time stereoscopic video service method and an apparatus thereof. The non-real time stereoscopic video service method performed by a reception apparatus according to one embodiment of the present comprises the steps of: extracting a program association table from a received TS and analyzing the same; extracting a program map table corresponding to a program selected by a user from the program association table and analyzing the same; extracting a stereoscopic video service descriptor from the program map table and analyzing the same; generating frame and/or time information of an image to be reproduced according to the analysis of the stereoscopic video service descriptor; and reproducing an image by synchronizing a reference image and a supplementary image based on the generated frame and/or time information, wherein the step for generating the frame and/or time information of the image to be reproduced comprises: determining whether or not time stamp information regarding the image to be reproduced has been lost; and when it is determined that the time stamp information has been lost, generating the frame and/or time information based on time stamp information regarding a start of a stereoscopic video service included in the stereoscopic video service descriptor and information regarding access unit (AU) numbers of video images which have been transmitted so far after the stereoscopic video service was started.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A transmission device for providing a stereoscopic broadcasting service of a program linkage type and a method and a reception device and a method thereof are provided to enable a reference picture to use a 2DTV system, and to deliver an additional picture based on an advanced television systems committee and a network resource table transmission mechanism in non real time, thereby overcoming a limit of a 3D band width and supplying compatibility with a existing 2D broadcasting system. CONSTITUTION: A real time stream encoder(210) generates a real time stream by encoding a reference picture. A non real time stream encoder(230) generates a non real time stream based on an additional picture. A picture synchronization information generator(220) generates a picture synchronization information stream and service signaling for synchronization of the reference picture and the additional picture. A re-multiplexer(240) generates a stereoscopic broadcasting stream of a program linkage type.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for synchronizing between additional images and reference images of a real-time broadcasting program and a device thereof are provided to perform a signaling operation for synchronization time information with a stream transmitted in real time, thereby providing steadily a stereoscopic picture service. CONSTITUTION: A program map table corresponding to a program selected is extracted(S410). Information defined by a program level descriptor and an elementary stream level descriptor is extracted(S415). Whether a file of a related additional picture stores in a memory is checked(S420). The additional picture is loaded from the memory(S425). Timing difference necessary for synchronization of between a reference picture and the additional picture(S430).

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for transmitting and receiving a 3D broadcasting service are provided to supply the 3D broadcasting service in real time or non-real time and secure the compatibility with a 2D broadcasting of a digital broadcasting. CONSTITUTION: A reference image stream and an additional image stream are generated(900). Signaling information is generated(910). Information about the generated components is inputted into the signaling information. One or more among the signaling information, the reference image stream, and the 3D additional image stream are multiplexed through different channels(920). The multiplexed result is transmitted to the reception terminal through a distribution network(930).
