Abstract:
A digital broadcasting stream transmitting method and a digital broadcasting stream receiving method and apparatus for providing three-dimensional (3D) video services are provided. The transmitting method including: generating a plurality of elementary streams (ESs) for a plurality of pieces of video information including at least one of information about a base-view video of a 3D video, information about an additional-view video corresponding to the base-view video, and a two-dimensional (2D) video having a different view from views of the 3D video; multiplexing the plurality of ESs with link information for identifying at least one piece of video information linked with the plurality of pieces of video information, to generate at least one transport stream (TS); and transmitting the generated at least one TS via at least one channel.
Abstract:
A method of determining a two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) display mode is provided. An image sequence is received. Whether a current image included in the image sequence is a 2D or 3D image is determined. Based on a result of the determination, a 2D or 3D display mode for the image sequence is determined.
Abstract:
An Ethernet device having multiple lanes and a method of operating the lanes are provided. In one general aspect, it is possible to allocate a dummy block to each of one or more lanes such that the lanes do not selectively participate in communications. In addition, on a receiving side, the dummy block can be removed from among the genuine data blocks to enable data to be decoded. In this case, an Ethernet device on a transmission side and an Ethernet device on a receiving side can exchange information of a lane to which the dummy block is allocated by use of a lane status message, and the lane status message may be based on a link fault message specified by Ethernet standards.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for displaying a two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) image, and apparatus to execute the same, the method including determining whether an input image sequence having a first frame rate is a 2D image sequence or a 3D image sequence, wherein, if the input image sequence is a 2D image sequence, generating a 2D output image sequence having a second frame rate, the 2D output image sequence including the input image sequence and a 2D intermediate image generated from the input image sequence, and wherein, if the input image sequence is a 3D image sequence, generating a 3D output image sequence having a third frame rate, where a left-viewpoint intermediate image, a right-viewpoint intermediate image and the input image sequence are repeatedly included in the 3D output image sequence, the left-viewpoint intermediate image is determined from at least one left-viewpoint image in a left-viewpoint image sequence included in the input image sequence, and the right-viewpoint intermediate image is determined from at least one right-viewpoint image in a right-viewpoint image sequence included in the input image sequence.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for generating a data stream for providing a three-dimensional (3D) multimedia service and a method and apparatus for receiving the data stream are provided. The generating method includes: generating at least one elementary stream (ES) including video data of each view from a program for providing a two-dimensional (2D) or 3D multimedia service; generating program map table (PMT) information about the program, including reference information about the at least one ES and 3D additional information for identifying and reproducing the video data of each view; and generating at least one transport stream (TS) by multiplexing packetized elementary stream (PES) packets generated by packetizing the at least one ES, and the PMT information.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for encoding and decoding a stereoscopic image. A stereoscopic image restoring method includes parsing a received data stream into image data of a stereoscopic image and information regarding the stereoscopic image; extracting a camera parameter depending on individual characteristics of each of one or more cameras which have captured the stereoscopic image; and decoding and restoring the image data of the stereoscopic image.
Abstract:
A method of transforming a 3D video format of a 3D video, the method including receiving a video sequence comprising 3D video that includes left-viewpoint video and right-viewpoint video; estimating at least one of disparity information between the left-viewpoint video and the right-viewpoint video and correlation information between neighboring pixel values of the left-viewpoint video and the right-viewpoint video, and determining a 3D video format of the 3D video based on a result of the estimating; transforming the left-viewpoint video and the right-viewpoint video into a format, based on the determined 3D video format; and displaying the transformed left-viewpoint video and the transformed right-viewpoint video three-dimensionally on a the display device.
