Abstract:
Provided is a steroscopic video encoding and/or decoding apparatus that supports multi-display modes, the encoding/decoding method thereof, and computer-readable recording medium for recording a program that implements the encoding/decoding method. The encoding apparatus of this research incorporates: a field separating means for separating right and left-eye input images into an odd field of the left-eye image (LO), even field of the left-eye image (LE), odd-numbered field (RO) of the right-eye image, and even-numbered field (RE) of the right-eye image; an encoding means for encoding the fields separated in the field separating means by performing motion and disparity compensation; and a multiplexing means for multiplexing the essential fields among the fields received from the encoding means, based on the user display information.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for transmitting a broadcasting service capable of signaling non-real-time 3D broadcasting content. An apparatus for transmitting a broadcasting service includes: a non-real-time (NRT) content encoder encoding stereoscopic image content including a reference image and an additional image to generate an NRT stream; an NRT signaling information encoder generating NRT signaling information including at least one of a service map table (SMT) and a non-real-time-information table (NRT-IT) that correspond to the content; and a multiplexer multiplexing the NRT stream and the NRT signaling information and transmitting the multiplexed NRT stream and NRT signaling information to a receiving apparatus. Therefore, content can be provided even when the reference image and the additional image are encoded into the single file format in the dual stream type.

Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus and method of transmitting and receiving associated broadcasting contents based on a heterogeneous network. The transmission system generates a basic contents stream for basic contents configuring the broadcasting contents to transmit the basic contents stream to a terminal through a broadcasting network, generates an additional contents stream for additional contents associated with the basic contents to transmit the additional contents stream to the terminal through a communication network, and further transmits at least one of associated playing information on the basic contents and associated playing information on the additional contents to the terminal, and the reception terminal receives the basic contents stream, the additional contents stream, and the associated playing information and synchronize the basic contents and the additional contents with each other to play them, thereby playing the broadcasting contents in real time.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus of synchronizing a reference picture and an additional picture of a real-time broadcasting program. The method includes: receiving an MPEG-2 transport stream (MPEG-2 TS) including a program level descriptor and an elementary stream (ES) level descriptor from a picture transmitting apparatus; loading an additional picture corresponding to a reference picture included in the elementary stream (ES) level descriptor from a memory provided in the picture receiving apparatus, based on file information regarding the reference picture; calculating a time difference between a current frame of the reference picture and a reference time stamp, based on the reference time stamp which is included in the program level descriptor and indicates a start time of a frame regarding the reference picture; synchronizing the frame regarding the reference picture and a frame regarding the additional picture by using the time difference; and providing a stereoscopic picture based on the synchronized frames regarding the reference picture and the additional picture. A stereoscopic video service can be stably provided.

Provided are a method and an apparatus for transmitting stereoscopic video information capable of providing a stereoscopic video service. The method for transmitting stereoscopic video information comprises the steps of: creating a signaling table including video-related information; and transmitting the signaling table and the video, wherein the signaling table can include stream type information, a stereoscopic program information descriptor and/or a stereoscopic additional video stream descriptor, of the image
Abstract:
Each of data of two viewpoints, constituting a stereoscopic video, may be received at predetermined time intervals. When first viewpoint video data is received among the data of the two viewpoint, a storage unit of an image processing apparatus may generate a monoscopic video using the received first viewpoint video data. The first viewpoint video data may be stored. When second viewpoint video data corresponding to the first viewpoint video data is received, the stereoscopic video may be generated by mixing the first viewpoint video data with the second viewpoint video data, and thereby be displayed.
