METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTIVIEW VIDEO ENCODING BASED ON PREDICTION STRUCTURES FOR VIEWPOINT SWITCHING, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTIVIEW VIDEO DECODING BASED ON PREDICTION STRUCTURES FOR VIEWPOINT SWITCHING

摘要

The present invention relates to encoding and decoding a video according to the prediction structure for a multiview video for inter-image prediction and motion compensation. The multiview video decoding method receives a base view video stream and an additional view video stream for two or more additional viewpoints, recovers base view videos by using the base view video stream, recovers view update videos by performing disparity compensation referring to the base view videos by using the additional view video stream, and recovers the additional view videos by performing at least one of disparity compensation, which refers to the base view videos, and motion compensation, which refers to recovered videos with view update videos preceding other recovered videos of additional excluded views.
