In rate-distortion optimization, the encoder settings are determined by maximizing a
reconstruction quality measure subject to a constraint on the bitrate. One of the main …

The deployment of 3G/LTE networks and advancements in smart mobile devices had led to
high demand for multimedia streaming over wireless network. The rapid increasing demand …

In video-based 3D point cloud compression, the quality of the reconstructed 3D point cloud
depends on both the geometry, and color distortions. Finding an optimal allocation of the …

Compared with conventional color images, light field images (LFIs) contain richer scene
information, which allows a wide range of interesting applications. However, such additional …

This paper presents an efficient depth map coding method based on a newly defined
rendering view distortion function. As compared to the conventional depth map coding in …

High quality virtual views need to be synthesized from adjacent available views for free
viewpoint video and multiview video coding (MVC) to provide users with a more realistic 3D …

A frame-level bit allocation optimization method is proposed to improve the rate-distortion
performance for High Efficiency Video Coding. First, to avoid the demerits of the mixture …

In three-dimensional (3D) video coding, distortion in texture video and depth maps can all
affect the quality of the synthesized virtual views. Therefore, under the total bitrate constraint …

Recent advances in video capturing and rendering technologies have paved the way for
new video streaming applications. Free-viewpoint video (FVV) streaming is one such …

This paper addresses high performance depth coding in 3D video by making good use of its
coded texture video counterpart. The relationship between the depth and its associated …
