1. A method for transmission of a three-dimensional (3D) image as first and second two-dimensional (2D) images, the method comprising: segmenting the first and second 2D images into segmented images, the segmenting comprising: segmenting even numbered lines and odd numbered lines from the first 2D image to respectively form a first segmented image and a second segmented image; segmenting even numbered lines and odd numbered lines from the second 2D image to respectively form a third segmented image and a fourth segmented image; assembling one of the first segmented image or the second segmented image with one of the third segmented image or the fourth segmented image into a first composite image, and assembling the other of the first segmented image or the second segmented image with the other of the third segmented image or the fourth segmented image into a second composite image, the first composite image and the second composite image defining a pair of composite images; and transmitting the pair of composite images to permit reconstructing of the 3D image from the pair of composite images by de-interlacing the pair of composite images.
