Depth video is used as the geometrical information of 3D world scenes in 3D view synthesis.
Due to the mismatch between the number of depth levels and disparity levels in the view …

Depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) is frequently used in multiview video applications
such as free-viewpoint television. In this paper, we consider the two DIBR algorithms used in …

In this paper, we propose a novel multiview video plus depth (MVD) codec that uses a depth-
based prediction mode (DBPM) both for texture videos and the depth maps. We show that …

In 3D-HEVC, the latest 3D video coding project of MPEG, the coding mode of depth maps is
determined by view synthesis optimization (VSO) which integrates view synthesis distortion …

An efficient bit allocation algorithm based on a novel view synthesis distortion model is
proposed for the rate-distortion optimized coding of multiview video plus depth sequences in …

Wireless video streaming for multi-view plus depth (MVD) frames enables free viewpoint
video on wireless devices, where a viewer can freely synthesize any preferred virtual …

We propose a fast quality metric for depth maps, called fast depth quality metric (FDQM),
which efficiently evaluates the impacts of depth map errors on the qualities of synthesized …

With emerging multiview displays there is an interest in a new 3D video (3DV)
representation and compression standard, which contains depth information, so that virtual …

Abstract 3D became successful in the movie theaters but failed to become mainstream for
home use. The inconvenience of wearing glasses is arguably the reason and researchers …

In this paper, a new mode decision scheme is proposed for depth map coding in 3D-AVS.
The novelty of the paper mainly contains the following two points. Firstly, an improved …
