Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A three-dimensional (3D) compressing method and apparatus is disclosed. The 3D video compressing apparatus determines whether a motion of consecutive frames exists when a depth of a multi-view video is estimated, performs a depth estimation when the motion exists, and compresses the 3D video by using a color video motion vector as a depth video motion vector.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus of compressing a three-dimensional (3D) video, the apparatus comprising: a motion estimating unit configured to generate a color video motion vector by estimating a motion of an inputted multi-view video, and by detecting a block that minimizes a luminance difference between a block of a current frame to be compressed and adjacent blocks of a previous frame; a motion determining unit configured to determine, by using the color video motion vec…
