Method and apparatus for converting two-dimensional video content for insertion into three-dimensional video content

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided that converts video content from a first format type into a second format type so that the video content can be viewed with other video content that has the second video format type. The method includes determining a first format of a first stream of video content (702) and determining a second format of a second stream of video content (704, 706). The method also includes converting (806, 808) the format of the second stream of video content into the format of the first stream and combining (812) the first stream of video content with the converted second stream of video content to form. In order to display the first and second video content streams the method decodes the combined first and converted second stream of video content using the first format.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
determining a first format of a first stream of video content including a first frame followed immediately by a second frame and a third frame followed immediately by a fourth frame, wherein the first frame and the second frame correspond to a first view of the first stream of video content, and wherein the third frame and fourth frame correspond to a second view of the first stream of video content; determining a second format of a second stream of video content, wherein the second stream of video content comprises a fifth frame; converting the second stream of video content into a converted second stream of video content using the first format, wherein the converted second stream of video content comprises a sixth frame and a seventh frame that are converted from the fifth frame; combining the first stream of video content with the converted second stream of video content to form a combined stream of video content, wherein combining the first stream of video content with the converted second stream of video content comprises:
splicing the sixth frame between the first frame and the second frame of the first stream of video content; andsplicing the seventh frame between the third frame and the fourth frame of the first stream of video content; and decoding the combined stream of video content.
