Multiview Video Compression

Designing autonomous layered video coders

“…The lth sequence's action a l determines its distortion d l (a l ) and encoded rate b l (a l ). Although we consider a very simple example here, our data dependency framework can be applied to multi-view coders with various inter-view dependencies such as those in [7,8]. …”

“…Building on the decompositions proposed in this paper, future research should investigate new decompositions and models that can be deployed to minimize the performance gap. Provides benchmark for optimal performance 8 If g ¼ 0, then Eq. (9) reduces to the immediate expected reward.…”

“…(8) for the SBIC buffer model and the additive cost function defined in Eq. (35), the centralized VAL_I algorithm defined in Eq.…”

“…To illustrate how different video applications with different dependencies can be implemented in our framework, and how these dependencies impact the decision processes, we consider a variety of layered video coders, including scalable [15], multiple description [5], and multi-view [8] encoders. Importantly, the proposed framework and methodologies are general enough to be applied in various buffer-constrained encoder settings such as video buffer verifiers [1,2] and video complexity verifiers [3]; however, for simplicity, we will focus exclusively on video buffer verifiers in this paper.…”

Hierarchical modulation for client-driven selective streaming of multi-view video over AWGN channels

“…These enable users to have a three-dimensional (3D) view by freely changing their viewpoint. Multi-view video transmission has many challenges such as the needs for 5 large bandwidth and low latency. Many techniques have been studied for reliable multi-view video transmission.…”
