Abstract

The paper discusses an advanced approach for 3DTV services that is based on the concept of an N× video-plus-depth data representation. It particularly considers aspects of interoperability, scalability, and adaptability for the case that different multi-baseline geometries are used for multi-view capturing and 3D reproduction. In addition, it presents a method for the creation of depth maps and an algorithm for depth-image-based rendering related to the system approach.
