20080198219 | 3D Image file, photographing apparatus, image reproducing apparatus, and image processing apparatus - A photographing apparatus has two binocular stereoscopic modes. In two-take photography mode, a 3D image file is generated from left and right monocular images acquired by performing monocular photographing twice, and the 3D image file thus generated is recorded. In one-take photography mode, a 3D image file is generated from left and right monocular images acquired by performing binocular photographing once, and the 3D image file thus generated is recorded. When the 3D image file is recorded, a homogeneity tag is recorded in 3D metadata, as tag information of the header data portion of the 3D image file. The homogeneity tag is information about the homogeneity of the two monocular images and describes whether the two monocular images have been acquired in the one-take photography mode in which monocular images highly homogeneous are provided, or in the two-take photography mode in which monocular images not so homogeneous are provided. | 08-21-2008 |
20080309755 | Image outputting apparatus and program - An operation unit switches the operating mode between a 3D display output mode in which the images of the 3D image file are displayed as a stereoscopic images and a 2D display output mode in which one of the images of the 3D image file is displayed as an ordinary planar image. The 3D image file is composed of stereoscopic image data which represents a plurality of monocular images constituting a multi-ocular stereoscopic image and information which is added to the stereoscopic image data and which indicates that the data is stereoscopic data. In the 2D display output mode, a control unit makes an output unit display an image of the 3D image file read from a medium by a media reader and also display a mark on the same screen, indicating that the image displayed in the 2D display output mode is based on the 3D image file. | 12-18-2008 |
20140348242 | IMAGE CODING APPARATUS, IMAGE DECODING APPARATUS, AND METHOD AND PROGRAM THEREFOR - In disparity-compensated prediction, the precision of prediction vectors is improved even if a prediction method different from disparity-compensated prediction is utilized for blocks around a block to be coded. An image coding apparatus ( | 11-27-2014 |
20150071362 | IMAGE ENCODING DEVICE, IMAGE DECODING DEVICE, IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, IMAGE DECODING METHOD AND PROGRAM - The present invention enables joint use of multiple schemes that are different in relationship of dependency between viewpoint images and depth images in encoding and decoding for encoding or decoding of viewpoint images and depth images. An image encoding device determines one of encoding scheme having different reference relationships between viewpoint images and depth images at intervals of a predetermined encoding scheme change data unit and encodes viewpoint images and depth images with the determined encoding scheme. The image encoding device inserts inter-image reference information indicating the reference relationships between the viewpoint images and depth images in encoding into an encoded data sequence. The image decoding device determines a decoding scheme and an order of decoding in accordance with the reference relationships indicated by the inter-image reference information and decodes the viewpoint images and depth images with the determined decoding scheme and in the determined order of decoding. | 03-12-2015 |
