In this paper, a new coding method for stereo image pairs is presented. Disparity vectors are estimated with variable size block matching algorithm which requires fewer overhead bits for transmission. The different statistical properties between original images and disparity- compensated images are discussed. The efficiency of DCT compression is fully utilized through adaptively switching between the original image data and the disparity-compensated image data. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme performs well.
