METHOD FOR CODING AND METHOD FOR DECODING OF IMAGES, DEVICE FOR THIS PURPOSE, PROGRAMS FOR THIS PURPOSE AND INFORMATION MEDIUM FOR STORAGE OF PROGRAMS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC H04N7/32 H04N13/00 

FIELD: information technologies.

SUBSTANCE: global data of parallax, which are true data of parallax, are identified and coded, with account of epipolar geometry limitation, between camera of standard viewpoint, which is selected from all images with several viewpoints, and images produced from all other viewpoints; basic data of parallax is generated for each camera as viewpoint differing from standard viewpoint, where basic data of parallax are probably true data of parallax, with account of epipolar geometry limitation between image of relevant camera and images of all other cameras on the basis of global data of parallax and camera parametres; correction data of parallax used to correct basic data of parallax are identified and coded to provide data of parallax between image of relevant camera and previously coded image of reference viewpoint used for compensation of parallax; and images of relevant camera are coded using data of parallax produced by correction of basic data of parallax by means of correction data of parallax.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of parallax compensation using less data of parallax and increased efficiency of coding.
