of left images and a series of right images combinable to form a series of stereoscopic images both the stereoscopic image source data and series of left images and series of right images conceptually defined to be within frames the method includes compressing stereoscopic image source data at varying levels across the frame thereby forming left images and right images and providing a series of single frames divided into portions each single frame containing one right image in a first portion and one left image in a second portion alternately single frames may contain two right images in a first two portions of each single frame and two left images in a second two portions of each single frame wherein each set of right and left images may be processed differently multiplexing processes such as staggering alternating filtering variable scaling and sharpening from original uncompressed right and left images may be employed application_number US 201313942290 A description the present design provides a means for transmitting stereoscopic images over existing infrastructure originally designed to transmit planar images the present design is described in a series of related techniques the concentration is on the multiplexing of the stereoscopic image or what is termed the u201c stereoplexing u201d of the image two major requirements exist for stereoscopic imaging one for distribution to theaters film and the other for home entertainment video in general video applications involve removing pixels from source image data and optimization in a video system that allows for playback using a variety of display monitors.
