ABSTRACT:
In a stereoscopic video transmission system, video pictures of lower and enhancement layers are transmitted in a particular order such that the number of pictures which must be temporarily stored prior to presentation is minimized. Furthermore, a decode time stamp (DTS) and presentation time stamp (PTS) for each picture can be determined to provide synchronization between the lower layer and enhancement layer pictures. Decoding may occur either sequentially or in parallel. In particular, a method is presented where the enhancement layer includes disparity-predicted pictures which are predicted using corresponding lower layer pictures. The video pictures are ordered such that the disparity-predicted enhancement layer pictures are transmitted after the corresponding respective lower layer pictures. The scheme is illustrated with a number of different specific examples.
