    摘要: Methods, device and data stream format are disclosed in the present document for the encoding, the formatting and the decoding of depth information representative of a 3D scene. Compression and decompression of quantized values by a video codec leads to a value error. This error on values is particularly sensitive for depth encoding. The present invention proposes to encode and decode depth with a quantization function that minimize an angle error when a value error on quantized depth creates a location delta between the projected point and the de-projected point. The inverse of such a quantization function has to be encoded in metadata associated with the 3D scene, for example as a LUT, to be retrieved at the decoding, as such functions are not tractable.

    摘要: Methods, devices and stream are disclosed for encoding, transporting and decoding a 3D scene prepared to be viewed from the inside of a viewing zone. A central view comprising texture and depth information is encoded by projected points of the 3D scene visible from a central point of view onto an image plane. Patches are generated to encode small parts of the 3D scene not visible from the central point of view. At the rendering, a viewport image is generated for the current point of view. Holes, that is dis-occluded areas, of the viewport are filled using a patch based inpainting algorithm adapted to take the patches, warped according to the rotation and translation between virtual camera used for capturing the patch and the current virtual camera.
