Overview of Multi-view Video Coding
Yo‐Sung Ho, Kwan‐Jung Oh · 2007
With the advancement of computer graphics and computer vision technologies, the realistic visual system can come true in the near future. The multi-view video system can provide an augmented realism through selective viewing experience. The multi-view video is a collection of multiple videos capturing the same 3D scene at different viewpoints. Since the data size of the multi-view video increases proportionally to the number of cameras, it is necessary to compress multi-view video data for efficient storage and transmission. This paper provides an overview of multi-view video coding (MVC) and describes its applications, requirements, and the reference software model for MVC.
