Abstract
Input texture images are received. Depth maps are determined for the input texture images. Each depth map in the depth maps includes depth values of pixels represented in a corresponding input texture image in the input texture images. Depth difference maps are generated from the depth maps. The depth difference maps include at least one depth difference map that is generated from two successive depth maps in the depth maps. A video signal encoded with a compressed version of the input texture images and the depth difference maps is outputted. The video signal causes a recipient device of the video signal to generate display images from the compressed version of the input texture images and the depth difference maps for rendering on an image display.
