A first uncompressed texture block of a first texture picture representing a first view and ranging information associated with the first uncompressed texture block are obtained.

Input data associated with current motion information of a current texture block of a current texture picture in a current dependent view and a depth block associated with the current texture block are received.

Embodiments of the present invention identify a texture collocated block of a texture picture in the given view corresponding to a current depth block.

An image encoding device encodes a texture image and a depth image.

The definition includes at least one texture expression that is evaluated to create a conventional texture picture or audio output to be employed in the rendering.

A polygon which positions one element image is determined independent of the color density of the texture image.

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for acquiring a texture image and a depth image in a scheme for acquiring a depth image based on a pattern image.

In the filter’s dialog box, choose Load Texture from the Texture pop-up menu, and locate and open a texture image.

The masked texture image edge map comprises information on edges in a high resolution texture image, which edges have a correspondence in the low resolution depth map.

The method comprises deriving a high resolution depth map based on a low resolution depth map and a masked texture image edge map.

For each macroblock that is a partial area constituting a texture image (Tf) comprising the brightness value of each pixel, a skipped macroblock mode is used to perform the encoding of the texture image.

Once the designations have been completed, the texture image is warped into a final, deformed image, which is then mapped onto the three-dimensional object.

Similarly, the engine may compress texture sub-image information and store the compressed result at a destination address.

A region information generating unit (1) creates a plurality of sets of region information representing a portion of a region of a texture image.

More specifically, with the techniques of this disclosure, multiple merge candidates may be derivable from a texture picture for the coding of a depth block.
