<p>A method of generating a signal comprises receiving depth-related information for image data, receiving metadata relating to at least one mapping function used in the generation of the depth-related information, and multiplexing the depth-related information and metadata into a signal. The signal may also include image data which may define one or more image frames, which may be a pair of image frames. The depth-related information for the image data could comprise a depth map or a disparity map. The metadata could comprise the original mapping function itself used in the generation of the depth-related information, or information derived from that function such as an inverse of the mapping function or coefficients used in that mapping function.</p> |
