Influence of Depth Map Fidelity on Virtual View Quality

The paper deals with optimal bitrate distribution between video and depth maps in multiview compression. Influence of noise in depth data on the optimal bitrate allocation is studied. For simplicity simulcast approach is used. The results show that for high bitrates, virtual view quality depends on the depth map fidelity. However for low bitrates, this influence is negligibly small.
