Multi-view video coding method and device using a base view
There are provided method and apparatus for use in a multi-view video coding system. The apparatus includes an encoder for encoding at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content into a resultant bitstream, wherein the resultant bitstream is encoded to include view specific information. The view specific information indicates a decoding interdependency between at least some of the at least two views.
1. An apparatus, comprising:
an encoder for encoding at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content in a resultant bitstream by defining as a base view any of the at least two views that, for a decoding thereof, is independent of any other of the at least two views, wherein an avc_compatible_view_id syntax element identifies which one of base views encoded in the resultant bitstream is syntax compliant with the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Moving Picture Experts Group-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding standard/International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Sector H.264 recommendation for backwards compatibility and wherein a syntax structure is included that indicates dependency information between views, and a Multi-View Video Coding slice header includes a parameter indicative of which view a particular slice belongs.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the syntax structure is a view parameter set.
3. A method, comprising:
encoding at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content by defining as a base view any of the at least two views that, for a decoding thereof, is independent of any other of the at least two views, wherein an avc_compatible_view_id syntax element identifies which one of base views encoded in the resultant bitstream is syntax compliant with the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Moving Picture Experts Group-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding standard/International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Sector H.264 recommendation for backwards compatibility and wherein a syntax structure is included that indicates dependency information between views, and a Multi-View Video Coding slice header includes a parameter indicative of which view a particular slice belongs.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the syntax structure is a view parameter set.
5. An apparatus, comprising:
a decoder for decoding at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content, wherein said decoder determines which, if any, of the at least two views is a base view that, for a decoding thereof, is independent of any other of the at least two views, wherein an avc_compatible_view_id syntax element identifies which one of base views encoded in the resultant bitstream is syntax compliant with the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Moving Picture Experts Group-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding standard/International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Sector H.264 recommendation for backwards compatibility and wherein a syntax structure is included that indicates dependency information between views, and a Multi-View Video Coding slice header includes a parameter indicative of which view a particular slice belongs.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the syntax structure is a view parameter set.
7. A method, comprising:
decoding at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content, wherein said decoding step determines which, if any, of the at least two views is a base view that, for a decoding thereof, is independent of any other of the at least two views, wherein an avc_compatible_view_id syntax element identifies which one of base views encoded in the resultant bitstream is syntax compliant with the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Moving Picture Experts Group-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding standard/International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Sector H.264 recommendation for backwards compatibility and wherein a syntax structure is included that indicates dependency information between views, and a Multi-View Video Coding slice header includes a parameter indicative of which view a particular slice belongs.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the syntax structure is a view parameter set.
9. A non-transitory storage media having video signal data encoded thereupon for performing a method, the method comprising:
encoding at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content by defining as a base view any of the at least two views that, for a decoding thereof, is independent of any other of the at least two views, wherein an avc_compatible_view_id syntax element identifies which one of base views encoded in the resultant bitstream is syntax compliant with the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission Moving Picture Experts Group-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding standard/International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Sector H.264 recommendation for backwards compatibility and wherein a syntax structure is included that indicates dependency information between views, and a Multi-View Video Coding slice header includes a parameter indicative of which view a particular slice belongs.
10. The non-transitory storage media of claim 9 , wherein the syntax structure is a view parameter set.
