Novel 3DV Coding Scheme with Down-/Up-sampling and Asymmetrical Prediction

This paper proposes a novel three dimensional video (3DV) coding scheme, in which down-/up-sampling filters and asymmetrical prediction (ASP) are involved into the coding system. By using of the down-/up-sampling filters, the 3DV data volume requirement of the decoding capability limitations can be well satisfied. To further improve the coding efficiency, ASP is proposed which enables the inter-view prediction between the views with inconsistent resolution. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can significantly improve both the coding efficiency and the quality of the synthesized views, especially to sequences with low resolution and at low bit rates.
