Abstract:
An encoding device and method, and a decoding device and method, capable of encoding and decoding a multi-viewpoint image in accordance with a mode having compatibility with an existing mode. A compatible encoder generates a compatible stream by encoding an image that is a compatible image. An image converting unit converts the resolution of images that are auxiliary images. An auxiliary encoder generates an encoded stream of the auxiliary image by encoding the auxiliary image of which the resolution is converted. A compatibility information generating unit generates, as compatibility information, information that designates the image as a compatible image. A multiplexing unit transmits the compatible stream, the encoded stream of the auxiliary image, and the compatibility information. The encoding device can encode a 3D image of the multi-viewpoint mode.
Abstract:
A mode determining unit of a reproducing device determines a compatible mode indicating compatibility with an image data format by referring to the format of 3D image data to be used for generating a multi-view image. A 3D information generating unit generates compatibility information indicating the determined compatible mode as 3D information. A communication unit transmits the 3D image data and the 3D information to a display device. A communication unit of the display device receives the transmitted 3D image data, and receives the compatibility information as the 3D information. A mode determining unit determines the compatible mode of the 3D image data from the 3D information. Based on the determined compatible mode, a synchronization control unit controls synchronization of processing of the 3D image data. The technique can be applied to image processing devices, for example, to transmit image data to generate multi-view images.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and a recording medium that allow a reproducing apparatus to determine which one of a base stream and an enhancement stream obtained by encoding video data obtained from a plurality of viewpoints using a predetermined encoding method is a stream of a left image and which one is a stream of a right image. 3D_PL_type indicates the type of a PlayList. The value of the 3D_PL_type equal to “01” indicates a PLayList for B-D1 reproduction of 3D reproduction. The value of the 3D_PL_type equal to “10” indicates a PLayList for B-D2 reproduction of 3D reproduction. view_type indicates whether the Base view video stream whose reproduction is managed using the PlayList is a stream of an L image (L view) or a stream of an R image (R view). The present invention is applicable to reproducing apparatuses that comply with the BD-ROM standard.

Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes: a data processing unit which performs copy processing for recording recorded data of a first medium in a second medium, wherein the data processing unit receives three-dimensional image restriction information as copy restriction information of a three-dimensional image from a management server, and when a three-dimensional image is included in copy data from the first medium, performs processing for referencing the three-dimensional image restriction information, determining whether or not the copy processing is permitted, and copying recorded data of the first medium to the second medium under the condition it is determined that the copy processing is permitted.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a reproducing apparatus and a reproducing method, a data structure, a recording medium, a recording apparatus and a recording method, and a program that enable, in a case where offset information of a sub-image is arranged in a stream of a main image, easy realization of 3D display of the sub-image based on the offset information.A right-eye video stream includes offset metadata for generating offset information. In a data portion of each TS packet of the right-eye video stream, only any one of video data of an encoded right-eye main image and offset metadata is arranged. In a header of each TS packet of the right-eye video stream, transport priority, which indicates whether data arranged in the data portion of the TS packet is video data of an encoded right-eye main image or offset metadata, is described. The present invention can be applied to, for example, a reproducing apparatus that displays a sub-image in a 3D manner.
Abstract:
An information processing device comprising: a data processing unit configured to load a disk, which stores content that is divided into content usage control units, and to execute processes for reading the content; and a local storage unit configured to store subsequential data obtained and/or generated subsequentially, wherein the data processing unit is configured to perform processes to: select a title that is an index for reading the subsequential data from dummy titles stored in advance on the disk; set the title as a title for the subsequential data; and store the subsequential data in the local storage unit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a playback apparatus and a playback method which allow setting of picture-in-picture display, a program, a program storage medium, a data structure, and a recording-medium manufacturing method. Pip_metadata states information required for the picture-in-picture display. Pip_horizotal_position indicates, on the frame of a primary video, an X coordinate at the upper left corner of a sub display screen on which a secondary video is displayed. Pip_vertical_position indicates, on the frame of the primary video, a Y coordinate at the upper left corner of the sub display screen on which the secondary video is displayed. Pip_scale states information indicating the size of the sub display screen on which the secondary video is displayed. For example, pip_scale states the size ratio of the secondary video to the primary video, the scale ratio of the secondary video to its original image, or information indicating how many pixels is included in the sub display screen in each of the vertical direction and horizontal direction. The present invention is applicable to playback apparatuses.
