Bandwidth-limited channels demand the transmission of the per-pixel depth maps with the texture data to provide immersive 3D video services that allow arbitrary 3D viewpoint reconstruction. This auxiliary depth data offers geometric information, which together with the multi-view and epipolar geometries, can be exploited during 3D video coding to calculate geometric positions for the search areas...
The Multi-view Video Coding (MVC) standard was developed for efficient encoding of multi-view videos. Part of it requires the calculation of both disparity and motion estimations using a bi-prediction structure. These estimations involve an exhaustive search for the optimal compensation vectors from multiple forward and backward reference frames which, while being very efficient in terms of compression,...
Disparity estimation is used in Multi-view Video Coding (MVC) to remove the inter-view redundancies present in both color and depth multi-view video sequences. The standard H.264/MVC achieves high compression efficiency by deriving the optimal disparity vector through the exhaustive calculation of the Rate-Distortion cost function for all the possible search points. This makes disparity estimation...
Multi-view Video Coding (MVC) employs both motion and disparity estimation within the encoding process. These provide a significant increase in coding efficiency at the expense of a substantial increase in computational requirements. This paper presents a fast motion and disparity estimation technique that utilizes the multi-view geometry together with the depth information and the corresponding encoded...
Transmission of multi-view video encoded bit-streams over error-prone channels demands robust error concealment techniques. This paper studies the performance of solutions that exploit the neighbourhood spatial, temporal and inter-view information for this scope. Furthermore, different boundary distortion measurements, motion compensation refinement and temporal error concealment of Anchor frames...
This paper studies the quality of transmitted multi-view video when the corrupted packets are not discarded by the underlying protocols of the decoder. It assumes a wireless channel where the errors can be significant and implements solutions within the current H.264-MVC to reduce their impact on the video quality perceived by the user. The results show that transmission errors drastically reduce...
