First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing image data for a three dimensional image, the method comprising:
- receiving left and right eye image data and depth information associated with the three dimensional image;
determining, based on the left and right eye image data and depth information, three dimensional image data, wherein the three dimensional image data comprises at least one left image view and one right image view and at least one image disparity map, each of the at least one image disparity map being associated with either the left image view or the right image view; and
encoding the at least one left image view and one right image view and the at least one image disparity map.

Abstract
A multi-view distribution format is described for stereoscopic and autostereoscopic 3D displays. In general, it comprises multi-tile image compression with the inclusion of one or more depth maps. More specifically, it provides embodiments that utilize stereoscopic images with one or more depth maps typically in the form of a compressed grey scale image and, in some instances, incorporates depth information from a second view encoded differentially.
