Methods and systems for the treatment of stereoscopic images, corresponding computer program products, and storage carrier

摘要

In an embodiment, a first individual image and a second individual image constituting an encoded stereoscopic image, for example in JPEG format with respective levels of encoding quality and united in a multiple-image file, for example of the Multiple-Picture Object (MPO) type. The second level of encoding quality is lower than the first level of encoding quality. During decoding, the first individual image encoded with a first level of encoding quality and the second individual image encoded with a second level of encoding quality lower than the first level of encoding quality are extracted from the multiple-image file, then using information of the first extracted individual image for enhancing the second extracted individual image.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving a first image encoded according to a first quality level and a second image corresponding to the first image encoded according to a second quality level that is lower than the first quality level; decoding the encoded first image and a portion of the encoded second image; identifying portions of the decoded first image that correspond to the decoded portion of the second image; selecting a portion of said portions of the decoded first image based on the decoded portion of the second image; and improving the decoded portion of the second image based upon the selected portion of the decoded first image so that the improved decoded portion of the second image has a higher quality level than the second quality level.
