Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A system is provided for processing a compressed image stream of a stereoscopic image stream, the compressed image stream having a plurality of frames in a first format, each frame consisting of a merged image comprising pixels sampled from a left image and pixels sampled from a right image. A receiver receives the compressed image stream and a decompressing module in communication with the receiver decompresses the compressed image stream. The left and right images of the decompressed image stream are stored in a frame buffer. A serializing unit reads pixels of the frames stored in the frame buffer and outputs a pixel stream comprising pixels of a left frame and pixels of a right frame. A stereoscopic image processor receives the pixel stream, buffers the pixels, performs interpolation in order to reconstruct pixels of the left and right images and outputs a reconstructed left pixel stream and a reconstructed right pixel stream, the reconstructed streams having a format different from the first format.

Abstract: Detection compressed stereoscopic frames in a digital video stream. A stereoscopy detector is capable of detecting whether an image stream is stereoscopic or not, where the image stream may be monoscopic, stereoscopic and, in the latter case, encoded in one of many different possible stereoscopic encoding formats. The stereoscopy detector may also detect a particular encoding format for a stereoscopic image stream. The stereoscopy detector may also detect if quincunx encoding was used. Stereoscopy may be detected based on an observation of two portions in a frame sequence, and based on a comparison of segments in each portion. A change between stereoscopy and monoscopy, or between stereoscopic formats, may be detected as well, and may be detected based on multiple tests in time in a deliberate hysteresis.
