“…Program III: Judge and select proper viewpoints by use of viewpoint similarity in favor of predicting the disparity estimation compensation.The viewpoint similarity detection algorithm proposed in this paper detects scales based on the histogram characteristics of images among different viewpoints (on the mean value and variance basis). The scaling function of the similarity between Viewpoint Numbered (n+p) and Viewpoint Numbered n is (1) In the above term, (i,j) is the position of the macroblock in the image. As for the CIF format multiview video sequence (the image has 352×288 pixels), if the macroblock has 16×16 pixels, i=1,2,…,22; j=1,2,…,18; Xn+p,i,j is the mean value of the brightness or tone component of Viewpoint Numbered (n+p) in the (i,j) position, i.e.…”
