Abstract:
1. A method for embedding subtitles and/or graphic overlays in a 3D or multi-view video application to form a subtitled and/or overlaid 3D or multi-view video application, comprising: providing a plurality of two or more views, wherein view disparities are present between the views in order to allow subsequent formation of the 3D or multi-video application; providing the subtitles and/or graphic overlays separately for each view based on the view disparities, wherein at least one view is provided with subtitles and/or graphic overlays with a different representation from the subtitle and/or graphic overlays of at least one other view among the plurality of two or more views; and processing the plurality of two or more views and the subtitles and/or graphic overlays to form the subtitled and/or overlaid 3D or multi-view video application wherein the different representation comprises at least one of different color, sharpness, and outlines, and wherein the provided subtitles and/or graphic overlays are previously embedded with the plurality of two or more views before the processing, and further comprising before the processing: detecting the plurality of two or more views to locate previously embedded subtitles and/or graphic overlays; extracting the previously embedded subtitles and/or graphic overlays; removing artifacts introduced between the plurality of two or more views based on a first 3D display format of a 3D or multi-view video associated with the previously embedded subtitles and/or graphic overlays; and generating subtitles and/or graphic overlays to be embedded in the 3D or multi-view video application based on a second 3D display format, wherein the second 3D display format is different from the first 3D display format, wherein the processing is performed between the plurality of two or more views and the generated subtitles and/or graphic overlays.
