Abstract
This invention relates to a method and a device of processing parallax information comprised in a signal. A signal comprising parallax map associated with further image information is received. A first data is obtained from the signal indicative of first parallax map constraints. A second data is obtained from the signal indicative of second parallax map constraints. Third data matching third parallax map constraints of a target device is determined by means of processing the at least the first data and the second data. This third data is used to generate an updated signal matching the parallax map information constraints of the target device.
Claims15
A method of processing parallax information comprised in a signal, the method being performed by an image signal processing platform, and the method comprising:
- receiving a signal comprising at least one parallax map associated with other image information,
- obtaining from the signal a first data indicative of first constraints of the parallax map,
- obtaining from the signal a second data indicative of second constraints of the parallax map,
- determining a third data that matches third parallax map constraints of a parallax map of a target device by means of processing at least the first data and the second data, the third data being adapted to generate an updated signal matching the parallax map constraints of the target device,
- wherein each of the first, second and third constraints is a region of depth values for the other image information bounded by upper and lower limits, and wherein the target device is a 3 dimensional (3D) display system.
