Abstract:
1. A 3-dimensional (3D) video communication method, comprising: obtaining timestamped video image data of a scene, wherein: the video image data comprises at least one time stamped frame of depth image and at least two respective timestamped frames of color images; the timestamped video image data are collected by one of: encoding the respective timestamped video image data to obtain respective encoded timestamped video image data; and sending the respective encoded timestamped video image data in order to establish a mapping relation between the at least one timestamped frame of depth image and the at least two respective timestamped frames of color images for image reconstruction, wherein the timestamped depth information Z of the scene output by the first depth image collecting apparatus is utilized to calculate parallax information ∇x between the at least two second color image collecting apparatuses at the known view point
