Abstract
A method of storing multi angle data. Data for a plurality of angles of a scene are stored in interleaved blocks. Sizes of the interleaved blocks are integral multiples of sizes of integral numbered aligned units that include packets. Angle change points are included in each of the interleaved blocks, allowing a reproducing apparatus to seamlessly jump from one angle to another angle during reproduction of the multi angle data. A number of the angle points recorded on the information storage medium is computed so that a jumping distance required by the data during reproduction does not exceed a maximum jumping distance of a reproducing apparatus.
Claims9
A method of recording multi angle data comprising interleaved blocks, each of which includes at least one angle point that allows a reproducing apparatus to jump to other reproduction positions during data reproduction, the method comprising:
- computing a distance between angle points;
- compensating for an offset between the computed distance and a reproduction length of a packet of the interleaved blocks;
- computing a maximum number of angle points in one interleaved block which limits a longest jumping distance which the multi angle data may require during data reproduction to be smaller than or equal to a maximum jumping distance of the reproducing apparatus;
- and
- making interleaved blocks based on the distance between angle points and a number of angle points, and recording the multi angle data on the interleaved blocks.
A method of storing data for reproduction of a scene from a plurality of different angles, the method comprising:
- acquiring data corresponding to the scene from each of the plurality of angles;
- and
- storing the data on a recording medium in interleaved blocks, wherein the data of each block comprises:
- data for reproducing the scene from the respective angle, and
- data for a number of angle points which identify points from which and/or to which a reproducing apparatus may be selectively instructed to jump from the data in the one of the plurality of blocks to the data in another one of the plurality of blocks, wherein:
- each angle point is aligned with a beginning of a respective sector of the recording medium, and
- the data of each block comprises a number of packets of data having a total number of bytes equal to an integral multiple of a recording capacity of a sector of the recording medium.
