Since multi-view video exists a number of camera color image and depth image, it has a huge of data. Thus, a new compression technique is indispensable for reducing this data. Recently, the effective compression encoding technique for multi-view video that used in layered depth image concepts is a remarkable. This method uses several view point of depth information and warping function, synthesizes multi-view color and depth image, becomes one data structure. In this paper we use actual distance for solving overlap in layered depth image that reduce required data for reconstructing in color-based transform. In experimental results, we confirmed high compression performance and good quality of reconstructed image.

In this paper we propose a new pre-processing algorithm applied to multi-view video coding using color compensation algorithm based on image features. Multi-view images have a difference between neighboring frames according to illumination and different camera characteristics. To compensate this color difference, first we model the characteristics of cameras based on frame's feature from each camera and then correct the color difference. To extract corresponding features from each frame, we use Harris corner detection algorithm and characteristic coefficients used in the model is estimated by using Gauss-Newton algorithm. In this algorithm, we compensate RGB components of target images, separately from the reference image. The experimental results with many test images show that the proposed algorithm peformed better than the histogram based algorithm as much as 14 % of bit reduction and 0.5 dB ~ 0.8dB of PSNR enhancement.

In this paper, an algorithm to compensate the inter-view mismatch in the multi-view video according to the different characteristics of cameras is presented. Interview mismatches make it difficult to merge the multi-view images and decrease the coding performance. So, a preprocessing operation to compensate the mismatches is requisite in the multi-view video coding. It is shown that the mismatch in the outputs of multi-view cameras with different electro-optical transfer functions can be approximated with a linear model of a gain and an offset. In addition, a new algorithm for estimating and compensating the inter-view mismatch based on the detection of the overlapped region is presented. Experimental results using various rectified stereo images show that the proposed method compensates inter-view mismatches more accurately compared to the conventional approach.

This paper introduces a cost-effective method fur improving anchor picture quality of a multiview video coding scheme that is mainly based on chroma compensation. Proposed method is applied to both INTER $16{\times}16$ and SKIP modes in only anchor P-pictures. By testing using JVT common test conditions, simulation results show that proposed method can obtain the average BD-PSNR gains fur U and V as 0.136 dB and 0.127 dB, respectively, while maintaining almost same performance for Y (luminance). For the range of low bit-rates, it is observed that average BD-PSNR gains of Y, U, and V are 0.141 dB, 0.494 dB and 0.525 dB, respectively. Necessary computational complexity is very marginal because the number of anchor P-pictures is only 4.18% in comparison with whole coded sequences, however it can be found that the proposed method can significantly improve the coding efficiencies of color components.

This paper proposes a prototype realization of multi-view HD video transport system with synchronized multiplexing over IP networks. The proposed synchronized multiplexing considers the synchronization during video acquisition and the multiplexing for the interactive view-selection during transport. For the synchronized acquisition from multiple HDV camcorders through IEEE 1394 interface, we estimate the timeline differences among MPEG-2 compressed video streams by using global time of network between the cameras and a server and correct timelines of video streams by changing the time stamp of the MPEG-2 system stream. Also, we multiplex a selected number of acquired HD views at the MPEG-2 TS (transport stream) level for the interactive view-selection during transport. Thus, with the proposed synchronized multiplexing scheme, we can display synchronized HD view.

In this paper, we design and implement a 3D scalable video codec by combining the Scalable HEVC (SHVC) and the 3D-HEVC which are the extended standards of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). The proposed 3D scalable video codec supports the view and spatial scalabilities which are the properties of 3D-HEVC and SHVC, respectively. In the proposed 3D scalable codec, the high-level syntaxes are designed to support the multiple scalabilities. In the computer simulation section, we confirmed the conformance of the proposed codec and analyzed the performance of the proposed codec.

MPEG Immersive Video (MIV) 표준화 기술은 다시점 영상 부호화 시 비디오 코덱의 부담을 최소화하기 위해 각 시점 영상의 차분 정보만을 표현하는 처리 기술을 바탕으로 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 시점 간 중복성 제거를 진행하는 과정인 프루닝(pruning) 과정에서 복잡도 절감을 위해 병렬처리에 용이하도록 구성되는 프루닝 클러스터 그래프에 대해 서술하고, 각 클러스터 그래프 별 구성 전략에 따른 성능 분석을 진행한다. 클러스터 그래프 내에서 중복성 제거를 진행하지 않고 완전한 정보를 보존하는 바탕 시점(basic view)의 개수가 적게 포함될수록 처리할 전체 픽셀 화소율(pixel rate)은 감소하지만, 복원 화질 역시 감소하며 프루닝 복잡도는 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 실험 결과를 통해 프루닝 클러스터 그래프 구성에 따른 트레이드오프를 탐색하고, 최적화된 그래프 구성 전략에 따라 몰입형 비디오의 효율적인 전송이 가능함을 보인다.

This paper provides the coding performance comparisons of depth map resolution in 3D video system. In multiview plus depth map system, depth map is used for synthesis view rendering, and affects to synthesis views quality. In the paper, we show the experimental results as depth map resolution in 3D video system, and show performance variation as dilation filter.
