DEPTH MAP CODING USING VIDEO INFORMATION

摘要

Several implementations relate to depth map coding. In one implementation, it is determined that differences between collocated video blocks are small enough to be interchanged. Based on that determination, a depth block corresponding to a first of the video blocks is coded using an indicator that instructs a decoder to use a collocated depth block, corresponding to a second of the video blocks, in place of the depth block. In another implementation, a video signal includes a coding of at least a single indicator that instructs a decoder to decode both a depth block and a corresponding video block using collocated blocks, from other pictures, in place of the depth block and the corresponding video block. In another implementation, the depth block and the corresponding video block are decoded, based on the single indicator, using the collocated blocks in place of the depth block and the corresponding video block.
