Method and device for inter-view-predictive encoding of data of a view, device for decoding and computer-readable storage medium carrying encoded data of a view

摘要

The invention is made in the field of inter-view-predictive encoding of views. Particularly, the invention is made in the field of inter-view-predictive encoding of views in multi-view plus depth format.;The inventors' research revealed depth data useful for inter-view-predictive encoding.;Therefore a method is proposed for inter-view-predictive encoding of data of a view, wherein said method comprises using processing means for encoding blocks of the data using displacement compensated blocks of data of a different view, wherein block displacement vectors determined using blocks of depth data of the view are used for the encoding of the data.;The block displacement vectors can be used directly for displacement compensation, as predictions for residual encoding of further block displacement vectors used for displacement compensation, and/or for initializing block match searches for the further block displacement vectors.
