Abstract

See full text

A 3D video image encoding apparatus includes a segmentation mechanism to partition a 3D video image sequence into two or more segments, each including one or more 3D video images, an image processor to identify an overall minimum apparent distance to an observer within each segment of the 3D video image sequence, a metadata generator to encode the overall minimum apparent distance for a respective segment within metadata associated with that segment, and an indication of length of time of the segment, and/or indication of time until the next segment. A 3D video image decoding apparatus includes a metadata parsing mechanism to parse metadata associated with respective of plural segments of 3D video, to decode from the metadata an overall minimum apparent distance to an observer for that respective segment and an indication of length of time of that segment and/or indication of time until a next segment.
