METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENCODING THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO SIGNAL, ENCAPSULATED THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO SIGNAL, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO DECODER Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H04N7/26 H04N13/00 G06T17/00 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: in an encoding method and an encoder for a three-dimensional video signal, central type frames, the depth map for the central type frames and the enclosure data frame are encoded. Functional and non-functional data in the enclosure data frame are distinguished based on the depth map of the central type frame. In the decoder, a stream of combined data is generated from functional data in encoded enclosure data frames and central type frames. Preferably, central type frames are used as reference frames when encoding enclosure data frames.

EFFECT: high efficiency of encoding and providing a method of encoding three-dimensional image data on the transmitting side, wherein visible defects around depth disruptions for the displayed image are reduced, while the amount of data is maintained in acceptable limits.
