摘要

A stereoscopic video encoding device inputs therein: a multi-view video constituted by a reference viewpoint video (C), a left viewpoint video (L), and a right viewpoint video (R); and a reference viewpoint depth map (Cd), a left viewpoint depth map (Ld), and a right viewpoint depth map (Rd), each of which is a map of a depth value associated with the multi-view video. In the stereoscopic video encoding device, based on a synthesis technique indicated by a depth type (Hd), a video synthesis unit (11) synthesizes a plurality of videos, and a depth map synthesis unit (13) synthesizes a plurality of depth maps. A video encoding unit (12), a depth map encoding unit (14), and a parameter encoding unit (15) encode, by respective units, respective parameters containing a synthesized video (G), a synthesized depth map (Gd), and a depth type (Hd), respectively. A multiplexing unit (16) multiplexes the encoded parameters into an encoded bit string and transmits the multiplexed encoded bit string.
