A MULTIVIEW 3D IMAGE ENCODING METHOD, APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND STORAGE MEDIUM

A multiview 3D image encoding method, apparatus, system and storage medium are provided. The encoding method may include the steps of acquiring image data, and obtaining depth information containing a depth value of each pixel in an image based on the image data; grouping the image data into blocks, and calculating a perceived angular resolution of each object in blocks based on the depth information of each object in blocks respectively, wherein the perceived angular resolution of an object in blocks is a required maximum angular resolution that enables identification of the object in blocks; and configuring a respective encoding parameter for each object in blocks based on the perceived angular resolution of a respective one object in blocks, where the encoding parameter is configured such that a requirement of respective encoding parameter for a respective object in blocks with a respective perceived angular resolution is met.
