A camera information coding/decoding method for synthesizing stereoscopic real
video and a computer graphic image is disclosed. The method stores the camera information
generated when picturing, which is not contained in the existing multimedia contents
coding standard, that is, the location motion information of the camera and the
camera viewpoint displacement information, together with contents as the camera
motion information stream. The camera information obtained through the camera position
sensor and the camera viewpoint displacement sensor when picturing image is coded
and stored together with the contents, thereby easily and precisely synthesizing
with the computer graphic image. In addition, since the information may be easily
transformed to the descriptor of the camera motion information of MPEG-7 format,
there is another advantage of easily carrying out camera motion information indexing
operation among searching methods of the multimedia contents.
