Claim 6:
7. A device for decoding a data stream representative of a multi-view video, wherein the device comprises:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the processor configure the decoding device to:
obtain syntax elements from at least one part of the stream data;
reconstruct at least one image of a view of the video from the syntax elements obtained;
receive a request from an image synthesis module indicating at least one item of metadata required by the image synthesis module, said at least one item of metadata being associated with said at least one reconstructed image, and said at least one item of metadata corresponding to a map associated to said at least one reconstructed image;
obtain said at least one item of metadata in a predetermined form from at least one syntax element; and
provide said at least one item of metadata to the image synthesis module, said image synthesis module being configured to synthesize at least one virtual view, distinct from the views of the multi-view video, from said at least one reconstructed image and said at least one item of metadata.
