Abstract

A method for displaying a content from 4D light field data is described. Such method is executed by an electronic device, and is remarkable in that it comprises changing point of view of the content and/or a focus plane associated with the content, according to viewing rights.

Claims (22)

1. A method for protecting a displaying of a content from a 4D light field data, the method being executed by an electronic device, the method comprises:

obtaining said 4D light-field data as well as viewing rights, sending said content for displaying and changing point of view of said content or a focus plane associated with said content, according to said viewing rights associated with a degradation level.

2. The method for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 1 , wherein said changing said point of view of said content or said focus plane associated with said content is done randomly in time.

3. The method for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 1 , wherein said changing said point of view of said content or said changing of said focus plane associated with said content is done based on a random spatial point of a scene associated with the 4D light field data.

4. The method for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 1 , wherein said changing further comprises blurring at least part of said content.

5. The method for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 4 , wherein said blurring comprises adding Gaussian blur to said content.

6. The method for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 4 , wherein said blurring is done randomly in time.

7. The method for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 4 , wherein said blurring is a spatial blurring of said content that is done randomly.

8. The method for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 1 , wherein said content is the 4D light field data.

9. The method for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 1 , wherein said content is a 2D image or 2D video.

10. The method for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 1 , wherein said content is a 3D content or multiviews content.

11. The method for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 1 , wherein a difference value between consecutive changed points of views of said content or consecutive changed focus planes is defined as a function of said viewing rights associated with the degradation level.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program comprising a set of computer-executable instructions that when said instructions are executed on a processor causes the processor to perform a method for protecting a displaying of a content from a 4D light field data, the method comprises obtaining said 4D light-field data as well as viewing rights, sending said content for displaying, and changing point of view of said content or a focus plane associated with said content, according to said viewing rights associated with a degradation level.

13. A display device for protecting a displaying of a content from a 4D light field data, the display device comprising a processor configured to obtain said 4D light-field data as well as viewing rights, sending said content for displaying and change point of view of said content or a focus plane associated with said content, according to viewing rights associated with a degradation level.

14. The display device for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 13 , wherein said changing said point of view of said content or said focus plane associated with said content is done randomly in time.

15. The display device for protecting the displaying of the content according to claim 13 , wherein said changing said point of view of said content or said changing of said focus plane associated with said content is done based on a random spatial point of a scene associated with the 4D light field data.

16. A device for protecting a displaying of a content from a 4D light field data, the device comprising:

a processor for obtaining said 4D light-field data as well as viewing rights, sending said content for displaying and changing point of view of said content or a focus plane associated with said content, according to said viewing rights associated with a degradation level.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein said changing said point of view of said content or said focus plane associated with said content is done randomly in time.

18. The device of claim 17 , wherein said changing said point of view of said content or said changing of said focus plane associated with said content is done based on a random spatial point of a scene associated with the 4D light field data.

19. The device of claim 16 , wherein said changing further comprises blurring at least part of said content.

20. The device of claim 16 , wherein a difference value between consecutive changed points of views of said content or consecutive changed focus planes is defined as a function of said viewing rights associated with the degradation level.
