Stereoscopic video coding based on the H.264/AVC standard

H.264/AVC is newest video coding standard of the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group and the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group. Stereo video technology is an active research area in current video signal processing filed. More and more researchers are engaged in this field. In this paper, stereoscopic video coding is studied, and three schemes of using H.264/AVC are discussed. An improved scheme is proposed after the three stereo video coding were analyzed and compared. The proposed scheme can encode stereoscopic video sequences effectively.
