This paper proposes an error concealment algorithm for whole frame loss for multi-view video decoding. In our proposal, the relationship between motion vectors and disparity vectors is exploited first. Based on the parallelogram-like motion relationship, the motion vectors of error frames can be indirectly derived by projecting the disparity vectors from the counterpart view. In addition, to further improve the concealing results, a joint sum of the absolute difference (SAD) minimization approach is also proposed to find the block for the purpose of concealing the current error block by jointly considering motion vectors and disparity vectors. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm provides better video quality than previous work and reduces error propagation.

This article proposed an accurate disparity vector prediction (DVP) algorithm for multi-view video coding. Differing from traditional DVP that uses the information of motion vectors of neighboring blocks, the geometry of the camera position is utilized to calculate the parallax of different viewpoints in this algorithm and this parallax is the foundation of DVP. We jointly applied the JustNoticeable-Difference human visual model to the DVP. After filtered using Gaussian function, the geometric DVP was obtained. Experimental results showed that the proposed method achieved significant data reduction and subjective/objective quality enhancement.
