Claim One:
1. A method of generating a multi-view image data stream, the method comprising: inserting multi-view image data in the multi-view image data stream; determining a multi-view image parameter recording parameter indicating whether a multi-view image parameter with regard to the multi-view image data is inserted in the multi-view image data stream; and inserting the multi-view image parameter recording parameter in the multi-view image data stream, wherein the multi-view image parameter is inserted in the multi-view image data stream based on a value of the multi-view image parameter recording parameter, the multi-view image parameter comprises a camera parameter with regard to a camera that obtains the multi-view image data, and the camera parameter is inserted in the multi-view image data stream based on a value of a camera parameter recording parameter indicating whether the camera parameter is inserted in the multi-view image data stream, wherein the inserting the multi-view image parameter recording parameter comprises inserting in the multi-view image data stream a multi-view image parameter varying parameter indicating whether a multi-image parameter with regard to a current data fragment of the multi-view image data varies from a previous multi-view parameter with regard to a previous data fragment of the multi-view image, and wherein the multi-view image parameter, the multi-view image parameter recording parameter and the multi-view image parameter varying parameter are distinct parameters.
