Claim 0:
1. A decoding method for decoding a data stream representative of a multi-view video, implemented by a decoding device, the method comprising:
obtaining syntax elements from at least one part of the stream data;
reconstructing at least one image of a view of the video from the syntax elements obtained;
receiving 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 camera parameters representative of a location of at least one camera in a scene;
obtaining the at least one item of metadata from at least one syntax element; and
providing 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.
