Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method of encoding three-dimensional (3D) content. The method of encoding 3D content according to an embodiment may include setting a dependency between texture information and depth information of the 3D content, and generating a bitstream comprising the dependency.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method of encoding three-dimensional (3D) content, the method comprising: setting a dependency between texture information and depth information of the 3D content; and generating a bitstream comprising the dependency. 2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: setting a relationship between a given view and the depth information and a dependency between the depth information and a texture information when the depth information is separate from the texture information. 3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: setting at least one representation for a texture information and depth information of each view. 4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the representation comprises the texture information, comprises the depth information, or comprises both the texture information and the depth information. 5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising: setting an identifier parameter indicating information comprised in the representation. 6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein when the identifier has a form of “ti”, the representation comprises texture information of a view i, when the identifier has a form of “di”, the representation comprises depth information of the view i, and when the identifier has a form of “vi”, the representation comprises the texture information and the depth information of the view i. 7 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising: setting a dependency parameter indicating a relationship between a view associated with a current adaptive set and texture and depth information. 8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the identifier parameter or the dependency parameter is added to a multi-view design of a role element of a moving picture experts group (MPEG) dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) standard. 9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dependency is set at a representation level or an adaptive set level. 10 . A method of encoding three-dimensional (3D) content, the method comprising: setting a representation comprising at least one of texture information and depth information; and generating a bitstream corresponding to the representation.
