Abstract:
1. A method of receiving an image data stream, the method comprising: receiving an image data stream comprising at least one image data period; extracting at least one local 3D image parameter of each of the at least one image data period, from the image data stream; extracting image data of the each of the at least one image data period, from the image data stream, wherein the extracted image data of the each of the at least one image data period is one of a partial data period of a 2D image and a partial data period of a 3D image; and restoring at least one of the 2D image and the 3D image for the image data stream by using the at least one local 3D image parameter and the extracted image data of the each of the at least one image data period, wherein the 3D image is composed of a pair of a first image and a second image according to a stereoscopic composition type information representing a method of arranging the pair of the first image and the second image to format the 3D image, and wherein the at least one local 3D image parameter comprises stereoscopic arrangement order information indicating an arrangement order of each of the pair of the first and the second images according to the stereoscopic composition type information of the 3D image.
