The invention relates to layered depth data. In multi-view images, there is a large amount of redundancy between images. Layered Depth Video format is a well-known formatting solution for formatting multi-view images which reduces the amount of redundant information between images. In LDV, a reference central image is selected and information brought by other images of the multi-view images that are mainly regions occluded in the central image are provided. However, LDV format contains a single horizontal occlusion layer, and thus fails rendering viewpoints that uncover multiple layers dis-occlusions. The invention uses light filed content which offers disparities in every directions and enables a change in viewpoint in a plurality of directions distinct from the viewing direction of the considered image enabling to render viewpoints that may uncover multiple layer dis-occlusions which may occurs with complex scenes viewed with wide inter-axial distance.

Method for generating layered depth data of a scene

A method for presenting an image on a display device () includes modifying the image by applying a geometric transformation to the image so that an area of the image on the display device is presented to a viewer with higher density of pixels than that in the rest of the image (S).

Method and a display device with pixel repartition optimization

A method of and apparatus configured to perform obtaining a captured image of a real environment. The real environment includes a device having a screen. The captured image includes the device having the screen. The pose of the screen is determined based on the captured image. From a source other than the captured image, 2D content to be displayed on a representation of the screen in the virtual scene is obtained. The 2D content is projected to produce projected 2D content. The projected 2D content aligned to the pose of the screen. The virtual scene is generated as a combination of a virtual content item and the projected 2D content.

Method and device for compositing an image

The present disclosure relates to a method for providing assistance to a colorist in color grading of a virtual reality video content, called VR content. The method includes receiving the VR content being graded by a color grading station and receiving position information representative of the position of at least one hand of a colorist versus the color grading station. The method further includes generating, based on the position information, visual control information showing the position of the at least one hand of the colorist versus at least one grading control element of the color grading station and displaying the visual control information together with the graded VR content on a head mounted display carried by the colorist in order to help the colorist manipulating the at least one grading control element.

Method and system for color grading a virtual reality video content

A method and device for compositing and/or transmitting a first image to a first display device, the method comprising receiving a second image representative of a scene, the scene comprising a second display device displaying a third image; receiving the third image; obtaining a first information representative of pose of the second display device with respect to the scene; distorting the third image according to the first information; generating the first image by combining the second image and the distorted third image using the obtained first information; and transmitting data representative of the first image.

The disclosure pertains a method for determining a rendered tridimensional content intended to a viewer. The method includes inputting a reference content comprising at least a reference view, inputting at least one information related to the viewer's eyes orientation relatively to a reference axis of a display device, and determining a rendered view as a function of the reference view, and the information related to the viewer's eyes orientation relatively to the reference axis of the display device.

Tridimensional rendering with adjustable disparity direction

A method and an apparatus for adapting a number of views delivered by an auto-stereoscopic display device are presented. The method is executed by an electronic device, and it comprises: determining a number of views based on a list of number of views supported by the auto-stereoscopic display device and at least an information indicative of a computing power of a device needed to deliver content for each view; obtaining a correspondence map between sub-pixels of the auto-stereoscopic display device and the number of views; and providing content to the sub-pixels of the auto-stereoscopic display device according to the correspondence map.

A method and an apparatus capable of increasing the video depths depending on the video content of each line in order to provide a maximum of color gradation for each given scene shall be proposed. For this purpose there is disclosed an apparatus for driving a display device including input means for receiving a digital value as video level for each pixel or cell of a line of the display device, reference signaling means for providing at least one reference driving signal and driving means for generating a driving signal on the basis of the digital value and the at least one reference driving signal. The apparatus further includes adjusting means for adjusting the at least one reference driving signal in dependence of the digital values of at least a part of the line.

The spatial frequency analysis contained in the compressed image is used not only for decompression of images but also for the selection of an appropriate gamut mapping algorithm. Computation resources are then saved because no specific spatial frequency analysis is required for the selection of an appropriate gamut mapping algorithm.
