METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PREDICTING DEPTH QUADTREE IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO

摘要

Provided are a method and apparatuses for predicting a depth quadtree in a three-dimensional video. The method of predicting depth information in a multi-view video for encoding includes: encoding depth information collocated with a texture of a current multi-view video picture in linkage with split information of a coding unit of the texture of the current multi-view video picture, the coding unit having a quadtree structure. The quantity of encoded data of depth information to be transmitted and complexity of encoding and decoding may be reduced by predicting and encoding depth information collocated with the texture in linkage with split information of a coding unit having a quadtree structure of the texture of the current multi-view video picture.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2015
