Encoding of video sequences for frame sequential stereoscopic video, such as from spatially distinct right and left imagers. During the encoding process, reference frames are reordered if it is determined that reordering will increase the number of macroblocks (MBs) which can be skipped from the encoded output, or to otherwise increase coding efficiency. Then encoding is completed using motion prediction and entropy encoding for frame sequential stereoscopic video in response to the ordering of the reference frames. Side-information is encoded about reference frame sequencing within the sequential stereoscopic video output allowing a decoder to properly decode the reference frames. As a result the number of skipped MBs can be dramatically increased and the number of MBs referenced during motion prediction significantly reduced. |
