Self-similar Nature of 3D Video Formats

Communication network traffic shows self-similar behavior with long-range dependency (LRD). We analyzed self-similar nature of different 3D video formats, namely the multiview (MV) video, the frame sequential (FS) and the side-by-side (SBS) representation video formats using the visual and more rigorous methods. Analyses were performed by the aggregated variance method, the R/S statistics method, and the multifractal based multiscale method. We used publicly available long full HD video frame-size traces of 3D videos. Additionally, self-similarity of 3D videos with streaming approach with aggregation of frames is showed.
