Disparity estimation is used to eliminate redund ancy among different views in multiview video coding in order to obtain high compression efficiency. This paper proposes a reference viewpoint selection method based on the judgment principle of block feature vectors and similarities, which can reduce complexity and increase coding performance under the premise that the coding quality is ensured. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of this algorithm.
