Methods and apparatus for multi-view video coding

摘要

There are provided methods and apparatus for multi-view video coding. A video encoder includes an encoder for encoding a block in a picture by choosing between temporal prediction and cross-view prediction to enable a prediction for the block. The picture is one of a set of pictures corresponding to multi-view video content and having different view points with respect to a same or similar scene. The picture represents one of the different view points. A high-level syntax is used to indicate the use of cross-view prediction for the block.

主权项

1. A non-transitory processor readable medium having stored thereon an encoded bitstream, the encoded bitstream comprising:
a first block in a picture, the first block being encoded using a disparity vector, the picture being one picture of a set of pictures corresponding to multi-view video content, the picture representing one of the different view points; and a second block in the picture, the second block being encoded using a motion vector, wherein a disparity vector predictor corresponding to the disparity vector is formed using only disparity vectors of blocks adjacent to the first block, and a motion vector predictor corresponding to the motion vector is formed using only motion vectors of blocks adjacent to the second block.
