Disclosed are a method and apparatus for laying down, abandoning and/or recovering a pipe on the sea floor. During lay-down and abandonment, the pipe is lowered by a high capacity winch to an intermediate depth, at which the loading exerted by the pipe has dropped to within the rated capacity of a low capacity winch, to which the loading is then transferred. The high capacity winch line is then recovered to the attendant vessel and the pipe lowered to the sea floor using the low capacity winch. Pipe recovery is essentially a reversal of the above procedure. In this way, the length of the line of the high capacity winch is considerably reduced, which reduces the winch size and hence cost.

A method of estimating depths on a monocular image displayed on a display is utilized for improving correctness of depths shown on the display. Feature vectors are calculated for each patch on the monocular image for determining an intermediate depth map of the monocular image in advance. For improving the correctness of the intermediate depth map, an energy function in forms of vectors is minimized for calculating a best solution of the depth map of the monocular image. Therefore, the display may display the monocular image according to a calculated output depth map for having an observer of the display to correctly perceive depths on the monocular image.

According to a method for improving the frame rate of a stereoscopic video depth map sequence, two adjacent frames of depth maps serve as two reference frames, and a middle depth map is constructed to be inserted between the adjacent frames of depth maps. The depth information of a macro block of the middle depth map is obtained according to the following steps: bi-directional motion estimation is carried out to obtain a matching cost and an initial motion vector of the current macro block; bi-directional motion compensation is carried out to obtain the initial depth information of the current macro block; if the smallest matching cost is smaller than a preset threshold value, the initial depth information serves as the depth information of the current macro block, otherwise the initial depth information is utilized to form a texture block, corresponding to a virtual viewpoint, of the current macro block; the matching cost of the texture block is calculated; the combined matching cost of the current macro block and the texture block is calculated to obtain the final motion vector; and the final motion vector is used for carrying out the bi-directional motion compensation to obtain the depth information of the current macro block.
