Abstract:
A method is described for generating a stereoscopic video stream (101 ) comprising composite images (C), said composite images (C) comprising information about a right image (R) and a left image (I..,), wherein pixels of said right image (R) and pixels of said left image (L) are selected, and said selected pixels are entered into a composite image (C) of said stereoscopic video stream. All the pixels of said right image (R ) and all the pixels of said left image (L) are entered into different positions in said composite image (C), by leaving one of said two images unchanged and breaking up the other one into two regions (R1, R2) comprising a plurality of pixels and entering said regions into said composite image (C).
Abstract:
A system and a method for encoding and decoding stereoscopic images are described. A stereoscopic image comprises at least two sub- images arranged according to a first configuration and intended for a user's right eye and left eye, respectively. During the video signal post-production stage, a chromatic code is embedded which in adapted to provide information about said configuration. At receiver level, decoding means (14) are used which are adapted to receive said stereoscopic image, recognise the configuration of said at least two sub-images based on information embedded into said stereoscopic image, and arrange said at least two sub-images according to a second predetermined configuration.

Abstract:
A system (1) for displaying a stereoscopic video stream includes a display device (3) for displaying the video stream in a stereoscopic or monoscopic mode. The system also includes stereoscopic glasses (2) for watching in stereoscopic mode the video stream displayed by the display device. The stereoscopic glasses (2) include a sensor (20) which detects the presence of a head when the glasses (2) are being worn, and a transmitter (21) which transmits to the display device (3) a piece of information indicating that the glasses are being worn. The display device (3) receives the piece of information transmitted by the stereoscopic glasses (2) and displays the stereoscopic video stream in monoscopic or stereoscopic mode as a function of the piece of information received.
Abstract:
A method for the recognition of stereoscopic glasses, wherein two images of an environment in front of a screen are acquired from the same point of view. A differential image is then calculated by subtracting one of the two images from the other one, and the presence of two lenses is detected within the differential image. A method is also provided for controlling the display of stereoscopic images by using the method for the recognition of glasses. Also described are the devices allowing the methods to be implemented.
Abstract:
A method for superimposing images on three-dimensional content, wherein a video stream is received which includes the three-dimensional content and a depth map for superimposing images on the three-dimensional content. Once the video stream has been received, images are superimposed on the three-dimensional content in a position in depth dependent on the superimposition depth map (DM). The superimposition depth map contains information about the depth of the three-dimensional content and is inserted as an image contained in a frame (C) of the video stream. The depth map has a smaller number of pixels than that of a two-dimensional image associated with the three-dimensional content. The invention also relates to devices enabling the implementation of the methods.
