Symmetric distributed multiview video coding

Abstract

Abstract-Symmetric distributed source coding has made great progress in the past several years. However, few attempts have been tried to use the symmetric distributed source coding schemes in real data compression scenarios. In this paper, with the inspiration of previous symmetric distributed source coding schemes, we first put forward a novel syndrome-based symmetric distributed coding scheme which can achieve the whole Slepian-Wolf rate region. Then we propose a general architecture for symmetric distributed multiview video schemes. Our experiments show very encouraging results. In the high-rate case, our scheme can achieve great rate saving from separate H.264 coding scheme at the same video quality.
