1. A method of encoding multi-view video data, comprising the steps of: decomposing each view image of the multi-view video into an overlapped region and a non-overlapped region, said overlapped region being overlapped with other view image and said non-overlapped region not being overlapped with other view image; generating a stitched image by combining said non-overlapped region of each view image and a middle view image; encoding said stitched image using a first encoding algorithm; and encoding the overlapped region of each view image using a second encoding algorithm.
