摘要

A stereoscopic video coding device (1) inputs therein a reference viewpoint video (C) and a left viewpoint video (L), as well as a reference viewpoint depth map (Cd) and a left viewpoint depth map (Ld) which are maps showing information on depth values of the respective viewpoint videos. A depth map synthesis unit (12) of the stereoscopic video coding device (1) creates a left synthesized depth map (Md) at an intermediate viewpoint from the two depth maps. A projected video prediction unit (15) of the stereoscopic video coding device extracts, from the left viewpoint video (L), a pixel in a pixel area to constitute an occlusion hole when the reference viewpoint video is projected to another viewpoint and creates a left residual video (Lv). The stereoscopic video coding device encodes and transmits each of the reference viewpoint video (C), the left synthesized depth map (Md), and the left residual video (Lv).
