Abstract

This paper investigates extensions of H.264/AVC for compressing multi-view video sequences. The proposed technique re-sorts frames of sequences captured by multiple cameras looking at a person in a scene from different views and generates a single video sequence. The multi-frame referencing property of the H.264/AVC, which enables exploitation of the spatial and temporal redundancy contained in the multi-view sequences, is employed to implement several modes of operation in the proposed coding algorithm. To evaluate the performance of the proposed coding technique at different modes of operations, five multi-view video sequences at different frame rates were coded using the proposed and the simulcast H.264/AVC coding schemes. Experiments show the superior performance of the proposed coding scheme when coding the multi-view sequences at low and up to half of the original frame rates.
