Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) image processing method is provided. The method includes receiving from an image source a 3D image containing a plurality of images that are previously compressed, and storing pixel data of the received plurality of images. The method also includes determining that the plurality of images do not have a same number of pixel columns, determining at least one boundaries among the plurality of images, and determining a minimum number of pixel columns and a maximum number of pixel columns of the plurality of images. Further, the method includes adjusting any one of the plurality of images having a column number less than the maximum number such that each of the plurality of images has the maximum number of pixel columns, decompressing the plurality of images, and discarding from each of the decompressed plurality of images by a determined number of last columns, wherein the determined number is the difference between the maximum number and the minimum number.
