摘要:
A broadband gateway, which enables communication with a plurality of devices, handles at least one physical layer connection to at least one corresponding network access service provider. The broadband gateway determines network channel conditions for a requested service and identifies a user profile for a requesting device. The broadband gateway negotiates a service profile for the requested service with the at least one network access service provider based on the determined network conditions and the identified user profile. Content may be acquired and received for the requested service from the at least one network access service provider utilizing the negotiated service profile. The broadband gateway aggregates and assembles the received content. The resulting assembled content is communicated to the requesting device for the requested service. The broadband gateway may relay content among peer devices. Content conversion may be performed during the relay communication to match user profiles of subsequent peer devices.

摘要:
An array of monoscopic sensing devices comprising one or more image sensors and one or more depth sensors captures a 2D monoscopic video and captures corresponding depth information at a plurality different view angles for the captured 2D video. The captured 2D monoscopic video and the captured depth information at the different view angles are utilized to compose a 3D video. The captured 2D video and the captured depth information at the different view angles are compressed utilizing MVC. The compressed 2D monoscopic video and the compressed depth information at the different view angles are transcoded into a Blu-ray left view stream and a right Blu-ray right view stream, respectively, for storage. Depending on display configuration, the stored Blu-ray left view stream and the stored right Blu-ray right view stream are decoded utilizing MVC to compose a single view 3D video and/or a multi-view 3D video for 3D video rendering.

2D images and corresponding depth information are concurrently captured via an array of monoscopic sensing devices such as a monoscopic video camera array. The captured 2D images and the captured corresponding depth information are utilized to determine an image mapping function based on view angles. The captured 2D images and the captured corresponding depth information may be modified or adjusted to a given view angle through the determined image mapping function to compose a corresponding 3D image for the given view angle. Regression analysis may be performed to determine the image mapping function by fitting the captured 2D images and the captured corresponding depth information to known view angles of the monoscopic video camera array. 2D image data and corresponding depth information are determined for the given view angle utilizing the determined image mapping function so as to compose corresponding 2D and/or 3D images/video for the given view angle.

A three-dimensional (3D) video rendering device monitors 3D effects associated with an object in a received 3D video image-by-image. The object may be re-located to a preferred location to adjust the associated 3D effects. Two-dimensional (2D) image data and corresponding depth information for the object at the current location are interpolated to the preferred location. A location difference and lighting condition changes corresponding to the re-location of the object are calculated to determine a view angle and lighting conditions for the object at the preferred location. 2D image data and depth information for the object at the preferred location are estimated based on the determined view angle and the determined lighting conditions for the object at the preferred location. The estimated 2D image data and the estimated corresponding depth information may be applied to the object at the preferred location to enhance the associated 3D effects for 3D video rendering.
