SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMISSION, PROCESSING, AND RENDERING OF STEREOSCOPIC AND MULTI-VIEW IMAGES

摘要

A digital image processing system takes color plus Z channel data as input, prep recesses, decimates, and codes the Z channel in- band as digital watermark data embedded within the color data prior to encoding and transmission. A second digital image processing system receives, decodes, and extracts the decimated Z channel data before applying statistical regularization to restore a full-resolution Z channel prior to depth-image-based rendering.
