Method and apparatus for multiplexing multi-view three-dimensional moving picture
First Claim
1. An apparatus for multiplexing multi-view three-dimensional moving pictures, comprising:
- a stream generator for receiving moving pictures and information inputted from a first predetermined number of cameras and generating the first predetermined number of multi-view encoded streams corresponding to the moving pictures and information;
an information receiver for receiving back channel information including viewpoint information and a display mode selected by a user;
a multiplexor for selecting a second predetermined number of multi-view encoded streams among the first predetermined number of the multi-view encoded streams according to the back channel information and multiplexing the selected multi-view encoded streams each having the same time information, on a frame by frame basis or a field by field basis; and
a packetizer for generating a packet having a header and a payload and transmitting the packet, wherein the header includes the back channel information and additional information, which contains information of encoding method of the multi-view encoded streams generated in the stream generator, and the payload includes the multiplexed multi-view encoded stream.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for multiplexing a multi-view three-dimensional moving picture according to a user'"'"'s request is disclosed. The apparatus multiplexes a multi-view three-dimensional moving pictures by receiving moving pictures and information inputted from multi-view cameras and generating multi-view encoded streams corresponding to received moving pictures and information, receiving back channel information of the user, selecting necessary multi-view encoded streams according to the back channel information and multiplexing the selected multi-view encoded streams by a frame or a field having same time information. The present invention can effectively process the multi-view three-dimensional moving picture according to the display mode and system environment requested from the user by simplifying a synchronization process.
