Encoding Depth Information for Images - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 17897555 Titled 'Encoding Depth Information for Images'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for encoding depth information in three-dimensional content for transmission. The method involves accessing the depth information, which is encoded based on a near-plane value and a far-plane value. The method also involves accessing adjusted near-plane and far-plane values, which are determined based on a loss function with respect to the depth information. Finally, the depth information is encoded for transmission using the adjusted near-plane and far-plane values.
Original Abstract Submitted
In one embodiment, a method includes accessing depth information for three-dimensional content for one or more images, the depth information having been encoded based on a first near-plane value and a first far-plane value. The method further includes accessing an adjusted near-plane value and an adjusted far-plane value, where the adjusted near-plane value and the adjusted far-plane value are based on a loss function with respect to the depth information; and encoding the depth information for transmission using the adjusted near-plane value and the adjusted far-plane value.
