  • Patent number: 10033982
    Abstract: Provided are a method and device for decoding and encoding supplemental auxiliary information of a three-dimensional video sequence. The method includes: obtaining supplemental auxiliary information for constructing a stereo-pair from a three-dimensional video sequence bitstream, the supplemental auxiliary information being used for indicating that the stereo-pair is constructed from a reconstructed three-dimensional video sequence, and the reconstructed three-dimensional video sequence being obtained by decoding the three-dimensional video sequence bitstream. The present invention solves the technical problem in the prior art that degraded displaying quality of a constructed stereo-pair appears because of the lack of supplemental auxiliary information in a three-dimensional video sequence bitstream, and achieves the technical effect of improving the display quality of a constructed stereoscopic video.

  • Patent number: 9888222
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method to generate a stereoscopic video pair which can be used in the field of multimedia communication. A stereoscopic video pair can be obtained after processing a stereoscopic video sequence by using display auxiliary information. The stereoscopic video pair is displayed on a stereoscopic display D1. The display auxiliary information comprises camera viewpoint position information, virtual viewpoint position information and display scaling factor S1. The camera viewpoint position information indicates the position of a camera viewpoint C of a three-dimensional video sequence. The virtual viewpoint position information indicates the position of a virtual viewpoint P1. The display scaling factor S1 indicates the ratio of horizontal resolution Res1 to horizontal width W1 of the stereoscopic display D1, i.e., S1=Res1/W1, where the horizontal width is the approximation of actual display screen width.
