ABSTRACT:
A three-dimensional image encoding system comprising means for picking up an image of an object with a mono-view-point or multi-view-point image pickup system, means for compressing the pickup image and compressing and outputting area dividing information of the pickup image, means for detecting the depth of the object, means for selecting depth representative values by using the area dividing information supplied from the image compression means, means for compressing the depth representative values, means for performing the program description on computer graphics, means for compressing the program description, and means for multiplexing the compressed data which are supplied from the image compression means, the depth representative value compression means and the program description compression means.
