Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

[Object] To maintain perspective consistency among individual objects in an image in superimposition display of a caption (caption unit) in an ARIB method. [Solution] A multiplexed data stream including a video data stream and a caption data stream is transmitted from a broadcast station to a set top box. A video data stream supplied from a video encoder 113 includes stereo image data. A caption data stream supplied from a caption encoder 133 includes data of captions (caption units) in the ARIB method serving as superimposition information and disparity information (disparity information set). In the caption data stream, the pieces of data of a certain number of captions that are to be displayed on the same screen are sequentially arranged via a separator. Also, the disparity information (disparity information set) inserted into the caption data stream includes a certain number of pieces of disparity information added with respective pieces of identification information indicating the arrangement order of the pieces of data of the certain number of captions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A stereo image data transmitting apparatus comprising: a processing device that: outputs stereo image data including left-eye image data and right-eye image data; outputs data of superimposition information that is to be superimposed on images based on the left-eye image data and the right-eye image data; disparity information for giving disparity by shifting the superimposition information that is to be superimposed on the images based on the lef…
