METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIDEO ERROR CONCEALMENT USING HIGH LEVEL SYNTAX REFERENCE VIEWS IN MULTI-VIEW CODED VIDEO

摘要

There are provided a method and apparatus for video error concealment using high level syntax reference views in multi-view coded video. The apparatus includes a decoder (100) for decoding pictures for at least one view corresponding to multi-view video content from a bitstream. The pictures are representative of at least a portion of a video sequence. At least some of the pictures correspond to different time instances in the video sequence. The decoder (100) determines whether any of the pictures corresponding to a particular one of the different time instances are lost using an existing syntax element. The existing syntax element is for indicating at least one reference view used for inter-view prediction of at least one of the pictures (330).
