Publication number: 20210235065Abstract: A method for decoding a compressed image stream, the image stream having a plurality of frames, each frame consisting of a merged image including pixels from a left image and pixels from a right image. The method involves the steps of receiving each merged image; changing a clock domain from the original input signal to an internal domain; for each merged image, placing at least two adjacent pixels into an input buffer and interpolating an intermediate pixel, for forming a reconstructed left frame and a reconstructed right frame according to provenance of the adjacent pixels; and reconstructing a stereoscopic image stream from the left and right image frames. The invention also teaches a system for decoding a compressed image stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2021Publication date: July 29, 2021Applicant: 3DN, LLCInventors: Nicholas Routhier, Claude Thibeault, Jean Belzile, Daniel Malouin, Pierre-Paul Carpentier, Martin Dallaire
