METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING IMAGE SIGNAL

摘要

In a method for processing video signals acquired from multiple cameras, the present invention provides a method for processing video signals including receiving a multiview video coded bit stream including color pictures and depth pictures, wherein the depth picture indicates a group of digitalized information on a distance between a base camera and an object; acquiring data type identification information from the multiview video coded bit stream, wherein the data type identification information indicates whether or not depth-coded data are included in the multiview video coded bit stream; acquiring reference information between views of the depth picture based upon the data type identification information, wherein the reference information between views of the depth picture includes a number of depth-view reference pictures, and a view identification number of the depth-view reference picture; acquiring an estimation value of the depth picture by using the reference information between views of the depth picture; recovering the depth picture by using the estimation value of the depth picture; and acquiring a 3-dimensional image by using the recovered depth picture.
