Scalable Multi-View Video Coding for Interactive 3DTV

A standard for scalable video coding (SVC) is currently being worked on by the ISO MPEG Group. Work on standardization of multiple-view video coding (MVC) has also recently started under the ISO MPEG. Although there are many approaches published on SVC and MVC, there is no current work reported on scalable multi-view video coding (SMVC). This paper presents new coding structures for scalable stereo and multi-view video coding. The proposed structures are implemented as extensions to the JSVM software and resulting bitrates and PSNR are demonstrated. SMVC can be used for transport of multiview video over IP for interactive 3DTV by dynamic adaptive combination of temporal, spatial, and SNR scalability according to network conditions.
