Abstract:
Disclosed is a reception apparatus including a basic service reception unit to demodulate and channel-decode a signal received through one broadcasting channel among broadcasting channels for a basic service, and to extract a transport stream, an additional service reception unit to demodulate and channel-decode a signal received through a broadcasting channel for an additional service combined with the basic service, and to extract a transport stream, an integrated demultiplexer to respectively demultiplex the transport stream provided for the basic service and the transport stream provided for the additional service in order to extract at least one transport stream, and a source decoder to respectively decode the demultiplexed transport stream provided for the basic service and the demultiplexed transport stream provided for the additional service in order to broadcast at least one of a basic source and an additional source combined with the basic source.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and a method for displaying 3D images, which do not need to be reversed, so that users can watch the 3D images without modification in a 3D image system. The 3D images display extracts characteristic information regarding a plurality of imaging devices from left and right images taken by the imaging devices, selects an image among the left and right images, determines a reference element in the selected image, determines a selection element corresponding to the reference element in the non-selected image; calculates a disparity value between the left and right images by using the reference element and the selection element, determines whether the left and right images are normal or not by using the disparity value, and corrects the left and right images based on the determination result.
Abstract:
A stereoscopic data processing method and apparatus to provide service of stereoscopic data interoperating with digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) is provided. The stereoscopic data processing method, including: receiving a transmission stream (TS) including a program map table from an external device; recognizing stereoscopic program information descriptor in the program map table; and recognizing defined bit values in the stereoscopic program information descriptor and processing data.
Abstract:
Provided is a metadata structure for storing and re-producing stereoscopic data and a method for storing a stereoscopic content file based on the metadata structure. The stereoscopic content file storing method includes storing streams of the stereoscopic contents; and, when the stereoscopic content has more than two elementary streams, storing information for dividing the elementary streams into a main track and a supplementary track.
Abstract:
Provided are a digital broadcasting transmitting/receiving apparatus and method. By converting content of a main-program to a stream, converting content of a sub-program forming a single digital broadcasting service through synchronization with the main-program by being subordinated to the main-program to a stream, generating program configuration information containing stream conversion information of the main-program and stream conversion information of the sub-program, multiplexing the converted main-program stream and the generated program configuration information and real-time transmitting the multiplexed signal, and transmitting the converted sub-program stream in non-real-time, various and new premium services with compatibility with existing digital broadcasting services can be provided to users.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to three-dimensional video processing apparatus and method using MPEG-4 object descriptor information and structures. The three-dimensional video processing apparatus and method that can support a three-dimensional video service smoothly to thereby provide a sense of reality and a cubic effect in an MPEG-4-based system by suggesting a three-dimensional video object descriptor structure and providing to a client an object descriptor, which includes information on kind of three-dimensional video, number of viewpoints, number of media streams and a plurality of display methods; and a method thereof.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for multiplexing a multi-view three-dimensional moving picture according to a user's request is disclosed. The apparatus multiplexes a multi-view three-dimensional moving pictures by receiving moving pictures and information inputted from multi-view cameras and generating multi-view encoded streams corresponding to received moving pictures and information, receiving back channel information of the user, selecting necessary multi-view encoded streams according to the back channel information and multiplexing the selected multi-view encoded streams by a frame or a field having same time information. The present invention can effectively process the multi-view three-dimensional moving picture according to the display mode and system environment requested from the user by simplifying a synchronization process.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for describing three-dimensional, image data, an apparatus and method for retrieving three-dimensional image data, and a computer-readable recording media for recording the programs. An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for describing three-dimensional image data, and a computer-readable recording-medium that implements the method. Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for retrieving three-dimensional image data suitable for various application areas and display apparatuses, and a computer-readable recording-medium that implements the method. The image description apparatus includes: a descriptor database for storing descriptors describing characteristics of the three-dimensional image data; a descriptor adding unit for reading in a descriptor describing the characteristics of the three-dimensional image data and adding it to the three-dimensional image data; and a registration unit for registering the three-dimensional image data with the descriptor in a three-dimensional image data database.
Abstract:
A method of receiving stereoscopic video according to the present invention includes receiving a bit stream including image information, extracting a base image stream corresponding to a base image and an additional image stream corresponding to an additional image from the bit stream, generating the base image and the additional image by decoding the base image stream and the additional image stream, respectively, and generating a left image and a right image by using at least one of the base image and the additional image. According to the present invention, 2D/3D broadcasting service efficiency may be improved.
