Abstract
Recently, multi-view video has been an emerging media in the 3-D field. In general, the multi-view video processing requires encoders and decoders as many as the number of cameras, and thus the processing complexity results in difficulties of practical implementation. To solve this problem, this paper considers the design of a single encoder and a single decoder for the multi-view video. At the encoder side, multi-view sequences are combined by a video mixer. Then, the mixed sequence is compressed by an H.264/AVC encoder. The decoding part is composed of a single decoder and a scheduler controlling the decoding process. The goal of the scheduler is to assign approximately identical number of decoded frames to each view sequence by estimating the decoder utilization of GOPs and subsequently applying frame skip methods. Experimental results show that identical decoder utilization is achieved for each view sequence. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is compared with a simulcast encoder in terms of bit-rate and PSNR using a RD (rate-distortion) curve.
