VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS USING DEPTH INFORMATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a video signal processing method, comprising the steps of: receiving a multi-view coded bitstream including a color picture and a depth picture, the depth picture representing a set of numeric information on a distance between an object and a camera serving as a reference; acquiring data type identification information as well as depth range information from the multi-view video coded bitstream, the data type identification information indicating whether the multi-view video coded bitstream contains depth coded data, the depth range information representing information of maximum and minimum values in variances between two pictures at different visual points; according to the data type identification information, if the multi-view video coded bitstream contains the depth coded data, recovering the depth coded data; adjusting the depth range information by comparing the depth range information with a predetermined threshold range for changes of depth; and displaying 3D video by using the recovered depth coded data and the adjusted depth range information.
