STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE ENCODE DEVICE AND METHOD, AND STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE DECODE DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

According to an embodiment, a stereoscopic image encode device encodes a stereoscopic image displayed on a display device including a light control unit capable of controlling directions of light beams and including a display for emitting light beams from sub-pixels through the light control unit. The stereoscopic image encode device includes a determining unit, a generating unit, and an encoding unit. The determining unit configured to determine a method of dividing the stereoscopic image for each color component based on mapping information indicating the direction of emitted light beam from each sub-pixel, when the number of sub-pixels corresponding to a single cycle of the light control unit is not an integral multiple of the number of parallaxes in the stereoscopic image. The generating unit configure to generate a plurality of divided image. The encoding unit configured to encode each divided image.

1. A stereoscopic image encode device that encodes a stereoscopic image to be displayed on a display device including a light control unit capable of controlling directions of light beams in specific cycles and a display for emitting light beams from a plurality of sub-pixels, the stereoscopic image encode device comprising:
a determining unit configured to determine a method of dividing the stereoscopic image for each color component based on mapping information indicating the direction of emitted light beam from each sub-pixel, when the number of sub-pixels corresponding to a single cycle of the light control unit is not an integral multiple of the number of parallaxes in the stereoscopic image; a generating unit configured to generate a plurality of divided images into which the stereoscopic image is divided in accordance with the dividing method; and an encoding unit configured to encode each divided image.
