FRAME PACKING FOR VIDEO CODING Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H04N19/597 H04N19/59 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to computer engineering. A decoding method which comprises accessing a video image which includes multiple images merged into a single image, wherein the video image is part of a received video stream; accessing information which is part of the received video stream, wherein the accessed information indicates how the multiple images are merged in the accessed video image, and includes information on sampling and information on spatial interleaving, which includes information on a relationship which indicates the type of relationship existing between the multiple images, and also indicates that the multiple images are stereoscopic projections of an image, the multiple images are not linked, the multiple images are two-dimensional images and their associated depth map (2D+Z), the multiple images are multiple sets 2D+Z (MVD), the multiple images are layered depth video (LDV) format images or the multiple images are images two sets LDV (DES); and decoding the video image to provide a decoded representation of at least one of the multiple images.

EFFECT: high efficiency of decoding.
