Method and appratus for generating multiview image data stream, and method and apparatus for decoding multiview image data stream

摘要

A multi-viewpoint image data stream production method, an apparatus thereof, a multi-viewpoint image data stream decoding method and an apparatus thereof are provided to generate multi-viewpoint image data stream including various parameters about multi-viewpoint image for efficiently restoring multi-viewpoint image data. An image data registering part(210) records multi-viewpoint image data in a multi-viewpoint image data stream(250). A multi-viewpoint image parameter recording part(220) records the multi-viewpoint image parameter writing parameter in the multi-viewpoint image data stream. A multi-viewpoint image parameter fluctuation parameter record(230) records a multi-viewpoint image parameter fluctuation parameter to a multi-viewpoint image data stream. The multi-viewpoint image parameter recording part determines whether it records the multi-viewpoint image parameter based on the value of the multi-viewpoint image parameter writing parameter in the multi-viewpoint image data stream.
