HEVC Based Multi-view Video Codec Using Frame Interleaving Technique

Abstract

Abstract-this paper presents a HEVC based multi-view video codec. The frames of the multi-view videos are interleaved to generate a monoscopic video sequence. The interleaving is conducted in a way to increase the exploitation of the temporal and inter-views correlations. The MV-HEVC standard codec is configured to work as a single layered codec, which functions as a monoscipic HEVC codec with AVC capabilities, and used to encode interleaved multi-view video frames. The performance of the codec is compared with the anchor standard MV-HEVC codec by coding the three standard multi-view video sequences: "Balloon", "Kendo" and "Newspaper1". Experimental results show the proposed codec out performs the anchor standard MV-HEVC codec in term of bitrate and PSNR.

Mixed-resolution HEVC based multiview video codec

“…The objective of the research reported in this paper is to develop a texture HEVC for multiview videos based on spatial resolution scaling type of mixed resolution coding. In our previous study to develop a less complex HEVC based video codec for stereo and multiview videos, frame interleaving technique was used to encode the reordered stereo and multiview video frames using a modified MV-HEVC [14] [15]. The results of this study show that significant coding gain can be achieved compared to the standard MV-HEVC's stereo and multiview video codecs.…”

SmoothMV

“…Novel formats, allowing frame packing from different views in one single view, whilst offering great efficiency, lack appropriate signalling, which hinders their applicability [14]. Ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) in the network has also been addressed (Integrated Services [8], Differentiated Services [9] and variants of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) [15][16]). In 2012, the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) proposed a new codec agnostic standard, DASH [17], adopting the HAS concept (HTTP Adaptive Streaming).…”

Mononizing binocular videos

“…However, multi-view extensions work for specific codecs: each time a new codec comes out, the multi-view extension has to be re-designed and re-developed. Recently, [Mallik and Akbari 2016] and [Lai et al 2017] present new multi-view extensions for H.265/HEVC that use 4D wavelets and frame interleaving to enhance the coding efficiency. Unfortunately, they are incompatible with diverse existing monocular displays.…”
