Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing ultra high definition television service is provided. The apparatus for providing UHDTV service sets up a type of the UHDTV service as a first type of HDTV service and a second type different from that of the HDTV service in an environment of the UHDTV service and the HDTV service coexist.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and system of transmitting and receiving a three-dimensional (3D) broadcasting service, and more particularly, to a method and system for transmitting and receiving a reference image and a 3D auxiliary image for the 3D broadcasting service through a digital broadcasting network in real-time or in non-real time. According to the present invention, a smooth broadcasting service may be provided to terminals receiving a two-dimensional (2D) or 3D broadcast.
Abstract:
A video decoding method comprises receiving a plurality of atlases and metadata, unpacking patches included in the plurality of atlases based on the plurality of atlases and the metadata, reconstructing view images including an image of a basic view and images of a plurality of additional views, by unpruning the patches based on the metadata, and synthesizing an image of a target playback view based on the view images. The metadata is data related to priorities of the view images.
Abstract:
A method of producing an immersive video comprises decoding an atlas, parsing a flag for the atlas, and producing a viewport image using the atlas. The flag may indicate whether the viewport image is capable of being completely produced through the atlas, and, according to a value of the flag, when the viewport image is produced, it may be determined whether an additional atlas is used in addition to the atlas.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an image encoding/decoding method and apparatus for virtual view synthesis. The image decoding for virtual view synthesis may include decoding texture information and depth information of at least one or more basic view images and at least one or more additional view images from a bit stream and synthesizing a virtual view on the basis of the texture information and the depth information, wherein the basic view image and the additional view image comprise a non-empty region and an empty region, and wherein the synthesizing of the virtual view comprises determining the non-empty region through a specific value in the depth information and a threshold and synthesizing the virtual view by using the determined non-empty region.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for dividing high-definition contents into two portions, encoding each portion into a dual stream of a 3D TV broadcasting system, and transmitting high-definition contents through the encoded dual stream, and a method of receiving high-definition contents that can generate high-definition contents by decoding a dual stream and combining the decoded each stream, are provided.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing a three-dimensional (3D) video are provided. In the method and apparatus, a base view video of the 3D video may be transmitted to a receiver via a first network that is a terrestrial network, an additional view video of the 3D video may be transmitted to the receiver via a second network, and the 3D video may be provided based on the base view video and the additional view video.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a video encoding/decoding method and apparatus. The video decoding method according to the present disclosure includes: when a current picture is composed of a plurality of tiles and a current tile among the plurality of tiles is partitioned into a plurality of slices, decoding information on the number of slices in tile that indicates the number of the plurality of slices comprised in the current tile; decoding information on a slice height in tile that indicates a height of the plurality of slices comprised in the current tile; and determining the number of the plurality of slices comprised in the current tile and a height of the plurality of slices comprised in the current tile.
Abstract:
An MPEG media transport (MMT) apparatus and method for processing stereoscopic video data are provided. The MMT apparatus includes an asset file generator configured to generate a single asset file that contains an entire or part of the stereoscopic video data; and a signaling message generator configured to generate a signaling message for delivery or consumption of the stereoscopic video data. At least one of the generated single asset file and the generated signaling message contains stereoscopic video information related to the stereoscopic video data.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an immersive video processing method. The immersive video processing method includes: determining a priority order of pruning for input videos; extracting patches from the input videos based on the priority order of pruning; generating at least one atlas based on the extracted patches; and encoding metadata. Herein, the metadata may include information on a priority order of pruning among input videos.
