Multi-View Video Coding

Definition:Multi-view image display systems provide the viewer with the appropriate monoscopic or stereoscopic view of a scene.

Recent advances in multi-view three dimensional (3-D) television may revolutionalize information systems in the near future. Three or more cameras may be used to form a multi-ocular system for the production of several image sequences obtained from slightly different viewpoints. Multi-view image display systems may provide the viewer with the appropriate monoscopic or stereoscopic view of a scene, depending on his position. As an example, an autostereoscopic display system is implemented using several projectors and a lenticular screen.

Another example is integral imaging , which is a technique that is capable of creating and encoding a true volume spatial optical model of the object scene in the form of a planar intensity distribution by using unique optical components (arrays of lenses).

However, the cost for the associated recording and transmission systems...
