Abstract:
A multimedia stream generating method for 3-dimensional (3D) reproduction of additional reproduction information is provided. The method includes generating a video elementary stream (ES), an audio ES, an additional data stream, and an ancillary information stream that respectively comprise video data, audio data related to the video data, data of additional reproduction information which is to be reproduced together with the video data on a display screen, and additional reproduction information depth information used for 3D reproduction of the additional reproduction information, the video data including at least one of a 2D video image and a 3D video image.
Abstract:
Provided are a methods and apparatuses for generating a stereoscopic image format and reconstructing stereoscopic images from the stereoscopic image format. The method of generating a stereoscopic image format for compression or transmission of stereoscopic images includes receiving a base view image and an additional view image, determining block pixel information for the stereoscopic image format for each block position using first block pixel information of the base view image and second block pixel information of the additional view image based on blocks obtained by dividing the base view image and the additional view image, and disposing the determined block pixel information in each block position, thereby generating a combined image including pixel information of the base view image and pixel information of the additional view image.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of generating a two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) convertible stereoscopic image bitstream. The method includes receiving 3D image data; storing predetermined display mode information in a header region of a stereoscopic image bitstream in order to determine whether to display the 3D image data in a 2D display mode or a 3D display mode; and storing the 3D image data in a payload region of the stereoscopic image bitstream.

Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for generating a stream, and a method and apparatus for processing of the stream. The method of generating the stream includes: generating an elementary stream including three-dimensional (3D) image data providing a 3D image, and 3D detail information for reproducing the 3D image; generating a section including 3D summary information representing that a transport stream to be generated from the elementary stream provides the 3D image; and generating the transport stream with respect to the section and the elementary stream.
Abstract:
A method of generating a 3-dimensional (3D) image datastream is provided. The method includes generating an elementary stream including an encoded bit string of 3D image data; generating at least one packetized elementary stream by packetizing the elementary stream; generating at least one section including service related information of the 3D image data; inserting 3D image reproduction information for reproducing the 3D image data into a program guide information section from among the at least one section; generating at least one transport stream packet for each of the at least one section and the at least one packetized elementary stream; and generating a transport stream by multiplexing the at least one transport stream packet.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for providing and reproducing a three-dimensional (3D) video content, and a computer readable recording medium storing a program to execute the method. The method of providing 3D image content includes: inserting content type information indicating whether the image content is two-dimensional (2D) image content or 3D image content into a reserved region of a Program Map Table (PMT); inserting additional information about the 3D image content into one of an Elementary Stream (ES) descriptor region of the PMT and a reserved region included in a video sequence of the ES; and multiplexing the PMT and the ES of the 3D image content so as to generate a Transport Stream (TS). Accordingly, compatibility with a conventional digital broadcasting system can be maintained and more realistic 3D image content can be provided to a user.
