Scalable Stereoscopic Video Coding for Heterogeneous Multicasting Environments

초록

This paper propose a scalable stereoscopic video coding scheme using the functionalities of spatio-temporal scalaiblity. The proposed scheme uses an enhanced compatible coding scheme, which predicts matching block by interpolating both motion and disparity predicted macroblocks, for coding right or auxiliary image. To provide flexible stereo video service, we define both a temporally scalable layer and a spatially scalable layer for each eye-view. According to the experimental results, we expect the proposed functionalities will play a key role in establishing highly flexible stereo video service for ubiquitous computing environment where devices and network connections are heterogeneous.
