Abstract:
1. A method of reconstructing a stereoscopic image from a stereoscopic image bitstream into which stereoscopic image data is inserted, the method comprising: parsing the stereoscopic image bitstream and extracting attribute information regarding the stereoscopic image from the stereoscopic image bitstream; extracting reproduction mode switch number information representing the number of times that a reproduction mode of the stereoscopic image is switched between two-dimensional and three-dimensional reproduction modes, from the attribute information regarding the stereoscopic image; extracting reproduction period number information representing the number of the data periods to be reproduced in the two- or three-dimensional reproduction mode, from the attribute information regarding the stereoscopic image; and reconstructing the stereoscopic image using the stereoscopic image data extracted from the stereoscopic image bitstream, wherein the attribute information regarding the stereoscopic image is used to reproduce the reconstructed stereoscopic image in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional reproduction mode on a display device.
