Abstract
Generally, a motion vector and a disparity vector represent the motion information of an object in a single-view of camera and the displacement of the same scene between two cameras that located spatially different from each other, respectively. Conventional H.264/AVC does not use the disparity vector in the motion vector prediction because H.264/AVC has been developed for the single-view video. But, multi-view video coding that uses the inter-view prediction structure based on H.264/AVC can make use of the disparity vector instead of the motion vector when the current frame refers to the frame of different view. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an improved motion/disparity vector prediction method that consists of global disparity vector replacement and extended neighboring block prediction. From the experimental results of the proposed method compared with the conventional motion vector prediction of H.264/AVC, we achieved average 1.07% and 1.32% of BD (Bjontegaard delta)-bitrate saving for ${\pm}32$ and ${\pm}64$ of global vector search range, respectively, when the search range of the motion vector prediction is set to ${\pm}16$.
