A new method of encoding multiple view image information into an image signal including adding to the image signal a first image of pixel values representing one or more objects captured by a first camera; adding to the image signal a map comprising for respective sets of pixels of the first image respective values, representing a three-dimensional position in space of a region of the one or more objects represented by the respective set of pixels, and adding to the image signal a partial representation of a second image of pixel values representing one or more objects captured by a second camera, the partial representation including at least information of the majority of the pixels representing regions of the one or more objects not visible to the first camera.

A system for accurately detecting a patient's movement during imaging procedures includes a camera for providing a stream of camera images of a part of a patient's exterior and a fiducial element mountable on part of the patient's exterior. The fiducial element is detectable in the stream of images. An image processor is configured to detect a displacement of the fiducial element based on consecutive images including in at least the stream of images and to generate an output signal indicative of the displacement. The fiducial element has an in-plane stiffness which is substantially larger than an in-plane stiffness of the part of the patient's exterior. In addition, the fiducial element and the part of the patient's exterior are provided with substantially equal outer in-plane dimensions.

An apparatus and method for modifying a psychophysiological state of a subject include detecting a psychophysiological measure of the subject; processing the detected physiological measure so as to provide a signal indicative of a psychophysiological state of the subject; and outputting at least one of an audio stimulus, visual stimulus, haptic stimulus, temperature stimulus and scent stimulus to the subject. The output stimulus may be derived from an audio-visual data signal provided to the apparatus. Further, the output stimulus is adjusting in real time based on the signal indicative of a psychophysiological state of the subject.

A method of rendering views for a multi-view display device () is disclosed. The multi-view display device () comprises a number of display means () for displaying respective views in mutually different directions relative to the multi-view display device (). The method comprises: computing a first motion vector field on basis of a first input image of a time sequence of input images and a second input image of the time sequence of input images; computing a first motion compensated intermediate image on basis of the first motion vector field, the first input image and/or the second input image; and providing the first motion compensated intermediate image to a first one of the number of display means ().

A method of generating data for controlling a rendering system includes obtaining data representative of a recording of at least intervals of an event, the recording having at least two components obtainable through different respective modalities. The data is analyzed to determine at least a dependency between a first and a second of the components. At least the dependency is used to provide settings for a system for rendering in perceptible form at least one output through a first modality in dependence on at least the settings and on at least one signal for rendering in perceptible form through a second modality.

The present invention relates to a system and method of analyzing the movement of a user. More particularly the present invention relates to a new technique for assessing a user's motor functions. It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple, robust, and low-cost technique for analyzing the movement of a user, which can be used in an unsupervised home environment. This object is achieved according to the invention by a method of analyzing the movement of a user, the method comprising the steps of causing the user to perform a coordinated movement in accordance with an instruction, generating video image data in form of a sequence of images by video recording the user, determining in the sequence of images a degree of synchronicity of optical flow on the left and right body half using a computer system comprising computer vision technology, and assessing the user's motor functions based on the degree of synchronicity.

A method of combined exchange of image data and related depth data is disclosed. The method comprises: converting an input image signal, representing the image data, comprising a predetermined number of input color components (R,G,B) into an output image signal comprising a luminance component and a chrominance component; combining the output signal with the related depth data into a combined signal, comprising the luminance component, the chrominance component and a depth component (D) which is based on the depth data; and transmission of the combined signal over a number of channels (-) which is equal to the predetermined number of input color components (R,G,B).
