Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for superimposing images on three- dimensional content, wherein a video stream is received which comprises 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 said methods.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a receiver and a method for automatically programming a receiver adapted to receive radio-television signals belonging to a plurality of radio- television networks in at least two different formats, the method comprising the steps of: storing into a first table (200) a first plurality of programs of said plurality of radio- television networks receivable by said receiver in a first signal format, associable with a first sorting criterion (95) of said first programs; storing into a second table (300) a second plurality of programs of said plurality of radio-television networks receivable by said receiver in a second signal format, associable with a second sorting criterion (100) of said second programs, including a step of storing into a third table (400) programs stored in said first (200) and second (300) tables based on existing matches between said first (95) and said second (100) sorting criteria.
Abstract:
Edges within images of a three-dimensional video comprising at least one original view image and at least one depth or disparity map are corrected. Edges are detected in the at least one original view image for obtaining original edges and are warped according to the depth or disparity map. A set of warped edges altered by the warping process are detected (Fig 5a), e.g. by edge shape matching or detection of anomalies on warped edge coordinates, and the altered edges are corrected (Fig. 5b) to obtain corrected edges (Fig. 5c). The correction may comprise correcting the shape of the warped edges by subtracting the edge error from the warped edge to enforce the shape of the original edge or by using a smoothing, average or non-linear filter.
Abstract:
600428 Disclosed is a method for automatically programming a receiver adapted to receive television signals from a plurality of television networks in at least two different formats. The method includes storing into a first table (200) a first plurality of programs of the plurality of television networks receivable by the receiver in a first signal format. The first programs can be associated with a first sorting criterion of the first programs. The method also includes storing into a second table (300) a second plurality of programs of the plurality of television networks receivable by the receiver in a second signal format. The second programs can be associated with a second sorting criterion of the second programs. The method further includes storing into a third table (400) programs stored in the first (200) and second (300) tables based on matches that exist between the first and second sorting criteria.
Abstract:
L'invention se rapporte à un procédé permettant de générer un flux de données vidéo stéréoscopique numérique (101) comprenant des trames de conteneur de données (C), lesdites trames de conteneur de données (C) comportant des informations concernant une image droite (R) et une image gauche (L). Lors du codage dudit flux de données vidéo stéréoscopique numérique (101), au moins une métadonnée (M) est entrée, ladite métadonnée (M) étant conçue pour identifier une partie d'une trame de conteneur de données (C) qui contient uniquement l'une desdites deux images (L, R).

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for generating a stereoscopic video stream (101) comprising composite images (C) which comprise information about a right image (R) and a left image (L). According to the method, pixels are selected from the right image (R) and from the left image (L), and then the selected pixels are entered into a composite image (C) of the stereoscopic video stream. The method also provides for entering all the pixels of the right image (R) and all the pixels of the left image (L) into the composite image (C) by leaving one of said two images unchanged and breaking up the other one into regions (Rl, R2, R3) comprising a plurality of pixels. Said regions are subsequently entered into the composite image (C). The invention also relates to a method for reconstructing the right and left images starting from a composite image, as well as to devices allowing said methods to be implemented.
