Abstract: To satisfactorily transmit a plurality of view streams for a multi-view service. A multiplexed stream obtained by multiplexing a plurality of view streams is transmitted by a transmission unit. In this case, decoding time stamps are allocated to the plurality of view streams by a time stamp allocation unit, at intervals in which a display period is subdivided. For example, the plurality of view streams are streams for a stereoscopic image display. Since the decoding time stamps are allocated to the plurality of view streams within the multiplexed stream at intervals in which the display period is subdivided, a decoding order and a reference relationship between views are ensured, and thus a decoding process can be smoothly performed on the reception side without a failure.

Abstract: An image sensor frame rate can be increased by “interlaced” mode operation whereby only half the number of lines (alternating between odd and even lines) of an image is transported to the readout circuitry. This halves the integration time but also halves the resolution of the sensor. The reduction is tolerable for motion characterization as long as sufficient image resolution remains. Accordingly, in one embodiment, an image sensor operated in an interlaced fashion is first exposed to a scene under a first form of illumination (e.g., narrowband illumination), and a first set of alternating (horizontal or vertical) lines constituting half of the pixels is read out of the array; the sensor is then exposed to the same scene under a second form of illumination (e.g., existing ambient illumination with the illumination source turned off), and a second set of alternating lines, representing the other half of the pixel array, is read out.
