Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reproducing a multimedia content are provided. The apparatus includes: a receiver which is configured to receive, through different paths, a first signal including a left-side image and a first synchronization information item, and a second signal including a right-side image and a second synchronization information item; and a signal processor which is configured to synchronize and reproduce the left-side image and the right-side image using the first synchronization information item and the second synchronization information item.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing a three-dimensional (3D) image is provided. In the method, first-viewpoint image data and second-viewpoint image data that provide a 3D image are obtained. Time information that represents points of time that the first-viewpoint image data and the second-viewpoint image data are to be processed is produced, based on relation information to indicate that the first-viewpoint image data and the second-viewpoint image data are a pair of pieces of image data. The first-viewpoint image data, the second-viewpoint image data, and the time information are transmitted. The first-viewpoint image data is transmitted in a first stream, and the second-viewpoint image data is transmitted in a second stream.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving a broadcasting stream for providing a digital broadcasting service including a subtitle service are provided. A method of transmitting a data stream includes: generating a subtitle stream including basic viewpoint subtitle data and additional viewpoint subtitle data to reproduce a three-dimensional (3D) subtitle on a video screen on which video data is reproduced; determining 3D subtitle reproduction information for forming the 3D subtitle on the video screen based on the basic viewpoint subtitle data; and outputting a data stream by multiplexing a video stream including the video data, the 3D subtitle reproduction information, and the subtitle stream.
Abstract:
A metadata generating method including: receiving sub-region dividing information to divide an object into a plurality of sub-regions; and generating sub-region indicating information to indicate each of the plurality of sub-regions divided according to the sub-region dividing information.

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.
Abstract:
An image decoding method, an image outputting method, an image decoding apparatus and an outputting apparatus, the image outputting method including inputting an image; and if determined that the input image is a video image that is overlaid with a graphic image, outputting an area of the input image, which is overlaid with the graphic image, as a 2-dimensional (2-D) image and outputting the other area of the input image, which is not overlaid with the graphic image, as a 3-dimensional (3-D) image; and if determined that the input image is a video image that is not overlaid with a graphic image, outputting the input image as a 3-D image.
Abstract:
An image processing method and apparatus to output video data, which is a two-dimensional (2D) image, as a three-dimensional (3D) image, the image processing method including: when a current frame of the video data is classified as a new shot that is different from a shot a previous frame of the video data that is output temporally before the current frame, estimating a motion of the current frame by using one or more next frames of the video data that are output temporally after the current frame and are classified as the new shot; and outputting the current frame as the 3D image by using the estimated motion.
Abstract:
A method of processing video images is provided. The method includes reproducing 3-dimensional (3D) video images by generating left-eye video images and right-eye video images from a video stream, receiving a first command for activating a pop-up interactive graphics stream during the reproduction of the 3D video images, and reproducing 2-dimensional (2D) video images by generating either left-eye video images or right-eye video images from the video stream, in response to the first command for activating the pop-up interactive graphics stream.
Abstract:
A transmitting apparatus includes a down-scaler configured to down-scale multimedia data; a first encoder configured to encode the down-scaled multimedia data; a first transmitter configured to transmit the encoded multimedia data through a first transmitting network; a decoder configured to decode the encoded multimedia data; an up-scaler configured to up-scale the decoded multimedia data; a restoration data generator configured to generate restoration data using the up-scaled multimedia data; a second encoder configured to encode the restoration data; and a second transmitter configured to transmit the encoded restoration data through a second transmitting network.
