Provided is a metadata structure for storing and re-producing stereoscopic data and a method for storing a stereoscopic content file based on the metadata structure. The stereoscopic content file storing method includes storing streams of the stereoscopic contents; and, when the stereoscopic content has more than two elementary streams, storing information for dividing the elementary streams into a main track and a supplementary track.

Metadata structure for storing and playing stereoscopic data, and method for storing stereoscopic content file using this metadata

Disclosed is a stereoscopic/multiview three-dimensional video processing system and its method. In the present invention, stereoscopic/multiview three-dimensional video data having a plurality of images at the same time are coded into a plurality of elementary streams. The plural elementary streams output at the same time are multiplexed according to the user's selected display mode to generate a single elementary stream. After packetization of the single elementary stream continuously generated, information about the stereoscopic/multiview three-dimensional video multiplexing method and the selected display mode information are added to the packet header of the stream. Then the packetized elementary stream is sent to the image reproducer or stored in storage media. The present invention multiplexes the multi-channel elementary streams having the same temporal and spatial information, thereby minimizing the overlapping header information, and performs streaming of data suitable for the user's demand and the user system environments.

The present invention relates to three-dimensional video processing apparatus and method using MPEG-4 object descriptor information and structures. The three-dimensional video processing apparatus and method that can support a three-dimensional video service smoothly to thereby provide a sense of reality and a cubic effect in an MPEG-4-based system by suggesting a three-dimensional video object descriptor structure and providing to a client an object descriptor, which includes information on kind of three-dimensional video, number of viewpoints, number of media streams and a plurality of display methods; and a method thereof.

Apparatus and method for processing 3d video based on MPEG-4 object descriptor information

Stereoscopic video is encoded and decoded by using the MAC defined by the existing MPEG-4 standard. The stereoscopic video is divided into one image as a single video object, and another image as auxiliary information for the image established as the video object. The auxiliary information includes a horizontal disparity map, a vertical disparity map, luminance residual texture, and chrominance residual texture, which are respectively allocated to auxiliary components of the MAC according to importance and complexity of the images, encoded, and then output as a single encoding stream.

Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding stereoscopic video

Provided is a system and method for broadcasting stereoscopic video data to users on the Internet based on Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-4. The system includes: an encoding server for receiving stereoscopic video data, audio data, and Object Descriptor/Binary Format for Scene (OD/BIFS), which is information for controlling a content, and encoding the data into elementary stream (ES) having an MPEG-4 structure; a web server for receiving from the client any one among two-dimensional video display mode, field-shuttering video display mode and frame-shuttering video display mode; and a streaming server for generating a RTP (RTP) packet for real-time data transmission on the Internet by multiplexing the ES based on the display mode inputted into the web server, and transmitting the RTP packet to the client.
