Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A 3D video processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes an offset value complementing unit which complements an offset value of the first picture, by assigning a value which is equal to or greater than the first offset value and equal to or smaller than the second offset value, the first offset value representing the smaller one of the offset value assigned to the second picture temporally preceding the first picture and the offset value assigned to the third picture temporally succeeding the first picture, and the second offset value representing the larger one of the offset value assigned to the second picture and the offset value assigned to the third picture.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A three-dimensional (3D) video processing apparatus that processes a video signal which includes video data indicating a 3D video and control information on the video data, said 3D video processing apparatus comprising: an extracting unit configured to extract, from the control information, an offset value that is assigned to each of pictures included in the video data and indicates an amount by which at least part of the picture is shifted to adjust a depth…
