The method is based on application layer multicast, where each end point re- ceives only a selected number of views required for rendering video from its current viewpoint at any given time. The set of selected videos changes in real time as the user’s viewpoint changes because of head or eye movements. Techniques for reducing the black-outs during fast viewpoint changes were investigated. The performance of the approach was studied through network experiments.展开更多

A multi-view video color correction method using dynamic programming is proposed. Three-dimensional histograms are constructed with sequential conditional probability in HSI color space. Then, dynamic programming is used to seek the best color mapping relation with the minimum cost path between target image histogram and source image histogram. Finally, video tracking technique is performed to correct multi-view video. Experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain better subjective and objective performance in color correction.展开更多

A color compensation model is developed in RGB channels and then extended to YCbCr channels for practical use. A modified inter-view reference picture is constructed based on the color compensation model, which is more similar to the coding picture than the original inter-view reference picture. Moreover, the color compensation factors can be derived in both encoder and decoder, therefore no additional data need to be transmitted to the decoder. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the coding efficiency of MVC and maintains good subjective quality.展开更多

The proposed algorithm adaptively computes the matching cost using a temporal weighting function, which is obtained by block-based moving object detection and motion estimation with variable block sizes. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the temporal consistency of the depth video and reduces by about 38% both the flickering artefact in the synthesized view and the number of coding bits for depth video coding.展开更多

However, much higher computational complexity is also introduced in coding system, which hinders practical application of MVC. An efficient fast mode decision method using mode complexity is proposed to reduce the computational complexity. In the proposed method, mode complexity is firstly computed by using the spatial, temporal and inter-view correlation between the current macroblock(MB) and its neighboring MBs. Based on the observation that direct mode is highly possible to be the optimal mode, mode complexity is always checked in advance whether it is below a predefined threshold for providing an efficient early termination opportunity. If this early termination condition is not met, three mode types for the MBs are classified according to the value of mode complexity, i.e., simple mode, medium mode and complex mode, to speed up the encoding process by reducing the number of the variable block modes required to be checked. Furthermore, for simple and medium mode region, the rate distortion(RD) cost of mode 16×16 in the temporal prediction direction is compared with that of the disparity prediction direction, to determine in advance whether the optimal prediction direction is in the temporal prediction direction or not, for skipping unnecessary disparity estimation. Experimental results show that the proposed method is able to significantly reduce the computational load by 78.79% and the total bit rate by 0.07% on average, while only incurring a negligible loss of PSNR(about 0.04 d B on average), compared with the full mode decision(FMD) in the reference software of MVC.展开更多

The novel uplink-friendly DVC, which offers low-complexity, low-power consuming, and low-cost video encoding, has aroused more and more research interests. In this paper a new method based on multiple view geometry is presented for spatial side information generation of uncalibrated video sensor network. Trifocal tensor encapsulates all the geometric relations among three views that are independent of scene structure; it can be computed from image correspondences alone without requiring knowledge of the motion or calibration. Simulation results show that trifocal tensor-based spatial side information improves the rate-distortion performance over motion compensation based interpolation side information by a maximum gap of around 2dB. Then fusion merges the different side information (temporal and spatial) in order to improve the quality of the final one. Simulation results show that the rate-distortion gains about 0.4 dB.展开更多

Then, reconstruct the low-rank sensors and sparse sensors of the video utilize the tensor recovery method, through which the rough motion saliency can be initially separated from the background. Finally, construct a four-order tensor for moving target part, by grouping similar patches. Then we can formulate the video denoising and hole filling problem as a low-rank completion problem. In the proposed algorithm, the tensor model is used to preserve the spatial structure of the video modality. And we employ the block processing method to overcome the problem of information loss in traditional video processing based on frames. Experimental results show that our method can significantly improve the quality of depth video, and has strong robustness.展开更多

When depth maps are derived using existing depth estimation methods, the depth distortions will cause undesirable artifacts in the synthesized views. To solve this problem, a 3D video quality model base depth maps (D-3DV) for virtual view synthesis and depth map coding in the FTV applications is proposed. First, the relationships between distortions in coded depth map and rendered view are derived. Then, a precisely 3DV quality model based depth characteristics is develop for the synthesized virtual views. Finally, based on D-3DV model, a multilateral filtering is applied as a pre-processed filter to reduce rendering artifacts. The experimental results evaluated by objective and subjective methods indicate that the proposed D-3DV model can reduce bit-rate of depth coding and achieve better rendering quality.展开更多

To enhance the compatible centralized texture-depth packing (CTDP) formats, in this paper, we further introduce two depth enhancement algorithms to further improve the quality of CT-DP formats for delivering 3D video services. To compensate the loss of color YCbCr 444 to 420 conversion of colored-depth, two efficient depth reconstruction processes based on texture and depth consistency are proposed. Experimental re-sults show that the proposed enhanced CTDP depacking pro-cess outperforms the 2DDP format and the original CTDP de-packing procedure in synthesizing virtual views. With the help of the proposed efficient depth reconstruction processes, more correct reconstructed depth maps and better synthesized quality can be achieved. Before the available 3D broadcasting systems, which adopt truly depth and texture dependent cod-ing procedure, we believe that the proposed CTDP formats with depth enhancement could help to deliver 3D videos in the current 2D broadcasting systems simply and efficiently.展开更多
