Abstract:
A 3D video encoding rate controlling method and an apparatus using the method are disclosed. An image encoding method includes encoding first and second images at a first encoding ratio, with an encoding rate of the first image different from an encoding rate of the second image and after encoding the first and second images at the first encoding ratio, encoding the first and second images at a second encoding ratio. Accordingly, it may be possible to provide a viewer with 3D images while minimizing visual fatigue in consideration of a human visual characteristics.
