METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING INPUT THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO SIGNAL Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G06T15/00 H04N13/00 

FIELD: physics, video.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to a system and a method of processing an input three-dimensional (3D) video signal containing multiple views. The method of processing an input 3D video signal containing multiple views involves estimating long-range disparity which indicates the highest disparity value for the input 3D video signal. The method also includes a step of estimating short-range disparity which indicates the lowest disparity value for the spatial region in the input 3D video signal. The method further involves adaptation of the input 3D video signal by shifting the disparity range of the input 3D video signal from an observer by shifting disparity based on the long-range disparity estimate.

EFFECT: fewer shortcomings of encoded disparity interrelation in stereo- or multi-view content for 3D displays when applying superposition.
