Abstract:
1. A three-dimensional (3D) video decoding apparatus which decodes a first code signal obtained by coding a video signal of a first view, and a second code signal obtained by coding a video signal of a second view that is different from the first view, said 3D video decoding apparatus comprising: a decoding unit configured to decode the first code signal to generate a first decode signal, and to decode the second code signal to generate a second decode signal; an error determining unit configured to determine, for each predetermined data amount, whether or not there is an error in the first code signal and in the second code signal; an output determining unit configured to determine, when said error determining unit determines that there is an error in one of the first and the second code signals assigned with corresponding presentation time points and that there is no error in the other of the first and the second code signals, whether or not the one of the first and the second code signals that is determined as including an error has an error data amount equal to or greater than a first threshold; and an output unit configured not to output the first or the second decode signal that corresponds to the one or the other of the first and the second code signals, when said output determining unit determines that the error data amount is smaller than the first threshold, and to output only the first or the second decode signal which is obtained by decoding the other of the first and the second code signals, when said output determining unit determines that the error data amount is equal to or greater than the first threshold.
