Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus encoding a multi-view depth video, the apparatus comprising: a motion vector calculator to calculate a motion vector of each of a plurality of blocks within a depth video of a first viewpoint; a disparity calculator to obtain a color video of a first block of a second viewpoint and to calculate a disparity vector between the first viewpoint and a first block of the second viewpoint within a depth video of the second viewpoint, by referring to the color video of the first block of the second viewpoint, wherein a camera used to obtain the color video is different than a camera used to obtain the depth video of the first viewpoint and a camera used to obtain the depth video of the second viewpoint; and a motion vector borrowing unit to borrow, as a motion vector of the first block within the depth video of the second viewpoint, a motion vector of at least one block among the plurality of blocks within the depth video of the first viewpoint, by referring to the disparity vector.
