Abstract
Controlling a feature of an encoding process for regions of an image pattern representing more than one image when the regions include an amount of disparity in the represented images that would result in cross-contamination between the represented images if encoded with the feature. The control may be, for example, any of, turning the encoding feature off, using the encoding feature less often than when encoding an image pattern representing a single image, negatively biasing the encoding feature, and enabling the encoding feature for regions determined to have zero or near zero disparity and disabling the feature for all other regions. The represented images comprise, for example, any of a stereoscopic view, multiple stereoscopic views, multiple views of a same scene, and multiple unrelated views.
