Methods and apparatus for encoding and decoding a volumetric scene are disclosed. A set of attribute and geometry patches is obtained by projecting samples of the volumetric scene onto the patches according to projection parameters. If the geometry patch is comparable to a planar layer located at a constant depth according to the projection parameters, only the attribute patch is packed in an attribute atlas image and the depth value is encoded in metadata. Otherwise, both attribute and geometry patches are packed in an atlas. At the decoding, if metadata for an attribute patch indicates that its geometry may be determined from the projection parameters and a constant depth, the attributes are inverse projected on a planar layer. Otherwise, attributes are inverse projected according to the associated geometry patch.

A stereoscopic image generating method is provided. The method includes: processing a first image to obtain depth data of each pixel in the first image, and generating a first depth-information map, wherein the first depth-information map includes depth information corresponding to each pixel; performing uniform processing on a plurality of edge pixels which are within a predetermined width from a plurality of edges of the first depth-information map, so that the processed edge pixels have the same depth information to establish a second depth-information map; setting a pixel offset corresponding to each pixel in the first image based on the depth information corresponding to each pixel of the second depth-information map; performing pixel offset processing on the first image to generate a second image; and outputting the first image and the second image to the display unit to display a stereoscopic image.

Image processing includes obtaining image I[0,0] of a picture captured by an image capture means, in a state where light is irradiated to the picture from a light source at a reference position relative to a normal line of the picture, obtaining image I[α1,0] of the picture captured by an image capture means, in a state where the light is irradiated to the picture from the light source at a position inclined from the reference position at an angle α1 in the first direction, obtaining image I[0, β1] of the picture captured by an image capture means, in a state where the light is irradiated to the picture from the light source at a position inclined by an angle β1 from the reference position in a second direction different from the first direction, creating a three-dimensional map of the picture, using a set of images I[0, β1] and I[0, β2], merging at least a part of each of image I[α1,0], image I[0,β1], and image I[0,β2] with respect to image I[0,0], and recording as two-dimensional image data the image subjected to the emphasizing process.
