ENCODER FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO SIGNALS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H04N19/00 G06T15/00 G06T9/00 

FIELD: physics, video.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to encoding three-dimensional video signals, and specifically to a transport format used to transport three-dimensional content. The technical result is achieved using a device which is characterised by that it includes a means of generating a stream which is structured into multiple levels: level 0, having two independent layers: a base layer containing video data of a right-side image, and a level 0 extension layer containing video data of a left-side image, or vice versa; level 1, having two independent extension layers: a level 1 first extension layer containing a depth map relating to the image of the base layer, a level 1 second extension layer containing a depth map relating to the image of the level 0 extension layer; level 2, having a level 2 extension layer containing overlapping data relating to the image of the base layer.

EFFECT: high quality of three-dimensional images with a large number of presentations used.
