H.264/MVC interleaving for real-time multiview video streaming

摘要

The multiview video streaming demands high bandwidth even after coding. Any loss during transmission will have effect on the real-time quality of experience (QoE) of the end user due to the prediction structure used in H.264/MVC encoder. This paper proposes an interleaving scheme by considering the prediction structure used in the encoder. The priority for every picture in the prediction structure is computed using proposed mathematical model in order to satisfy any GOP size and any number of views. The validation and verification of the proposed work is done using H.264/MVC reference software JMVC 8.5. The test results show that the proposed interleaving scheme significantly outperforms the non-interleaved scheme.
