An Improved Stereo Video Coding Scheme Based on Joint Multiview Video Model

Stereo video technology is an active research area in current video signal processing filed. More and more researchers are engaged in this field. Based on the Joint Multiview Video Model proposed by JVT (Joint Video Team), three existing stereo video coding schemes are studied in this paper. An improved scheme is proposed after the stereo video MacroBlock types are analyzed. The experimental results show that the encoding complexity of the improved scheme for the right view reduces obviously. Compared to the joint estimation scheme, the encoding performance of improved scheme only reduces a little.
