Inter-view Scalability and Prediction Multi-view Video Coding Scheme

Abstract

Since the data size of the multi-view video increases at a linear speed with the increase of cameras number, it is necessary to compress multi-view video data for efficient storage and transmission. An efficient typical multi-view video coding (MVC) coding scheme can exploit temporal, as well as inter-view dependencies between adjacent cameras. This paper discusses the correlation of views and temporal in the different temporal layer and random access performance. We proposes a novel MVC prediction structure based on the analysis of the MVC coding schemes. The prediction structure applies the concept of hierarchical B pictures to inter-view and inter-view prediction to no-anchor images of group of pictures (GOP). The coding scheme proposed achieves up to 0.8 dB gain compared to the MVC reference prediction coding scheme.
