An enhanced multi-view video compression using the constrained inter-view prediction

We propose a method that uses the restricted inter-view prediction for multi-view video coding. In the multi-view video, there exists occluded area because of the locations and angle of cameras. This increases the computational complexity, as it still uses both reference pictures for predicting the area which is not shown in the current frame. In this paper, we proposed a method that does not use the interview prediction in cases when macroblocks are occluded. Experimental results show that benefits can be obtained compared with the conventional approaches.
