Temporal-Spatial Symmetric Distributed Multi-View Video Coding Scheme

To improve the rate stability and make a balance for different viewpoints in distributed multi-view video coding (DMVC) system, a novel symmetric DMVC (SDMVC) scheme is proposed in this paper. In the proposed scheme, every frame from all views adopts the same encoding mode and stable output rates are achieved, which are significant to improve the transmission efficiency in the channel. Both temporal and spatial correlations are exploited, in addition, a novel side information (SI) generation algorithm aiming at better exploring the correlations of proposed scheme has been proposed to obtain better performance. The simulation results show that the proposed SDMVC scheme gets a much more stable rate than the asymmetric scheme, only with neglectable bit-rate increasing. Meanwhile, the proposed SI generation algorithm significantly improves the coding performance.
