Abstract
Television broadcasting systems of this invention comprise an imaging system, and transmission system, and a displaying system. The imaging system captures two-dimensional images of an object at different focal plane, and generates an all-in-focused image and depth profile. A data signal carrying the image data is generated and transmitted over a broadcasting system compatible with commercial two-dimensional television broadcasting, cable, and/or alternative systems. The depth profile is transmitted by using vacant space in video/audio signal within the allocated channel bandwidth. The data signal is received by the displaying system and the extracts the all-in-focused image and depth information from the data signal. The object is restored from all-in-focused image and depth profile and displayed on the displaying system as a three-dimensional spatial image. Viewers having conventional two-dimensional display device can watch enhanced two-dimensional images.
