A New Inter-View Prediction Method for Multi-View Video Coding

Abstract

Multi-view Video Coding (MVC) is a fundamental encoding technique for FTV (free-viewpoint television), 3DTV (3D television) and surveillance. Efficient MVC requires coding algorithms exploiting temporal as well as inter-view dependencies between cameras. Assisted by the camera parameters the inter-view dependencies can be properly utilized. We propose in this paper a new inter-view prediction method based on camera parameters. The comparative test results based on the JSVM software platform are shown.
