Multi-view video codec based on the High Efficiency Video Coding (MV-HEVC) has high encoding complexity because it exploits an additional reference picture for disparity compensation prediction (DCP) when the picture of dependent view is encoded. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to reduce the complexity of disparity motion vector search for the MV-HEVC. The proposed method includes the initial search point decision method using affine transform and the adaptive search range decision method. The simulation results show that the proposed method reduces the complexity of disparity motion vector search up to 90.78% with negligible coding efficiency degradation. Also the results show that the proposed method outperforms other conventional techniques reducing complexity.

Based on the fact that high similarities exist between viewpoints of multi-view images, MV-HEVC achieves high encoding efficiency by performing conventional temporal direction prediction in a single viewpoint as well as inter-view prediction between viewpoints. In this paper, we propose to integrate SHVC and MVC (Multi-view Video Coding) to implement scalable multi-view video encoder using HEVC as a base layer. According to experimental results, it is verified that the BD-PSNR improvement reaches up to 1.5dB while reducing the BD-Bitrate by around 50~60%.

In this paper, we propose two rate control algorithms for multi-view extension of HEVC with two rate control algorithms adopted in HEVC and analyze the multi-view rate control performance. The proposed multi-view rate controls are designed on HEVC-based multi-view video coding (MV-HEVC) platform with consideration of high-level syntax, inter-view prediction, etc. not only for the base view but also for the extended views using the rate control algorithms based on URQ (Unified Rate-Quantization) and R-lambda model adopted in HEVC. The proposed multi-view rate controls also contain view-wise target bit allocation for providing the compatibility to the base view. By allocating the target bitrates for each view, the proposed multi-view rate control based on URQ model achieved about 1.83% of average bitrate accuracy and 1.73dB of average PSNR degradation. In addition, about 2.97% of average bitrate accuracy and 0.31dB of average PSNR degradation are achieved with the proposed multi-view rate control based on R-lambda model.

A HEVC-compatible 3D video coding method (3D-HEVC) has been recently developed as an extension of the high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard. In order to efficiently deal with the multi-view video plus depth (MVD) format, 3D-HEVC exploits an inter-component prediction which allows the prediction between texture and depth map images in addition to a temporal prediction used in the conventional single layer video coding such as H.264/AVC and HEVC. The performance of the inter-component prediction is normally affected by the accuracy of the disparity vector, and thus it is important to have an accurate disparity vector used for the inter-component prediction. This paper, therefore, introduces a disparity derivation method and inter-component algorithms using the disparity vector for the efficient 3D video coding. Simulation results show that the 3D-HEVC provides higher coding performance compared with the simulcast approach using HEVC and the simple multi-view extension (MH-HEVC).

기존에 H.264를 기본 계층으로 SVC와 MVC를 결합한 스케일러블 다시점 비디오 부호화기를 SVC와 MVC의 DPB를 통합한 통합형 DPB(Decoded Picture Buffer) 설계를 바탕으로 구현하였다. 그러나 구현된 비디오 부호화기로 HD급 이상의 해상도를 갖는 영상을 압축하는데 있어서 효과적인 성능이 나오지 않았다. 이러한 이유로 SHVC와 MV-HEVC의 부호화 구조를 결합하여 고해상도 처리를 위한 스케일러블 다시점 부호화기 설계를 제안한다. 제안된 방법을 통해서 SHVC와 MV-HEVC가 통합된 스케일러블 다시점 비디오 부호화를 효율적으로 구현할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

Three-dimensional (3D) video scenes are complex and difficult to control, especially when scene switching occurs. In this paper, we propose two algorithms based on an incremental proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm and a similarity analysis between views to improve the method of bit allocation for multi-view high efficiency video coding (MV-HEVC). Firstly, an incremental PID algorithm is introduced to control the buffer "liquid level" to reduce the negative impact on the target bit allocation of the view layer and frame layer owing to the fluctuation of the buffer "liquid level". Then, using the image similarity between views is used to establish, a bit allocation calculation model for the multi-view video main viewpoint and non-main viewpoint is established. Then, a bit allocation calculation method based on hierarchical B frames is proposed. Experimental simulation results verify that the algorithm ensures a smooth transition of image quality while increasing the coding efficiency, and the PSNR increases by 0.03 to 0.82dB while not significantly increasing the calculation complexity.
