Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: identifying a set of primitives to be rendered; and generating a plurality of two-dimensional images and a plurality of depth maps for a single frame of video associated with the set of primitives to be rendered at a single instant particular point in time such that at least two two-dimensional images and at least two depth maps are generated and output from a processor for the single frame of video associated with the set of primitives to be rendered at the single instant particular point in time; wherein the at least two two-dimensional images include a maximum disparity for avoiding fabrication of any pixel in the single frame of video, such that all pixels of the single frame of video are present within the at least two two-dimensional images; wherein a redundancy of information among each pair of the at least two two-dimensional images and the at least two depth maps generated and output for the single frame of video associated with the set of primitives to be rendered at the single instant particular point in time is identified and removed for compression purposes; wherein the at least two two-dimensional images and the at least two depth maps are passed to a display, and the display generates three or more images for a multi-view display utilizing the at least two two-dimensional images and the at least two depth maps.
