The present invention relates to a plenoptic cloud generation method, the method of generating a plenoptic point cloud according to one embodiment of the present invention, the method comprises, obtaining a two-dimensional (2D) image for each view and depth information obtained from a plurality of cameras, determining a method of generating a plenoptic point cloud and generating the plenoptic point cloud by applying the determined method of generating the plenoptic point cloud to at least one of the 2D image for each view or the depth information, wherein the method of generating the plenoptic point cloud includes at least one of a simultaneous generation method of the point cloud and a sequential generation method of the point cloud.

Method and apparatus for plenoptic point clouds generation

An apparatus and method for generating and consuming a three-dimensional (3D) data format to generate a realistic panoramic image are provided. The apparatus may include an image preprocessing unit to search for a matching point between images captured by a plurality of cameras, and to extract, as image information, at least one of a depth value, a texture value and object division information from each of the captured images, an image information structuring unit to structure 3D data to use the extracted image information to generate a realistic image, a 3D data format storage unit to store format information of the structured 3D data in a database (DB), realistic image generating unit to generate a realistic panoramic image using the stored format information of the 3D data, and a realistic image rendering unit to perform rendering on the generated realistic panoramic image.
