Abstract
A monoscopic 3D video generation device, which comprises one or more depth sensors, may be operable to store captured 2D video image data as a base layer and store captured corresponding depth information separately as an enhancement layer. The 2D video image data may be captured via one or more image sensors and the corresponding depth information may be captured via the one or more depth sensors in the monoscopic 3D video generation device. The monoscopic 3D video generation device may determine whether to transmit the enhancement layer to a video rendering device. The monoscopic 3D video generation device may encode the base layer. The monoscopic 3D video generation device may encode the enhancement layer based on the determination of transmitting the enhancement layer. The encoded base layer and/or the encoded enhancement layer may be transmitted to the video rendering device for 3D video rendering and/or 2D video rendering.
