본 논문에서는 이질적인 수신단말들에 효율적인 스테레오 영상전송을 위한 시공간적 계위를 이용한 부호화 방법을 제시하였으며, 각각의 시간적, 공간적 계위의 오버헤드를 분석하였다. 제시된 부호화기는 유연성있는 스테레오 비디오 서비스를 위해서 하나의 영상에 각각 시간적, 공간적으로 확장 가능한 추가적인 비트열을 정의하였다. 실험을 통하여 공간적 계위 오버헤드는 시간적 계위 오버헤드에 비해 상대적으로 크지만, 스테레오 부호화기의 양안차 예측으로 인해 많이 감소됨을 보였다. 제안된 스테레오 비디오 부호화기는 다양한 디스플레이 장치 및 네트워크 환경을 가지는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경을 위한 효율적인 스테레오 비디오 전송 서비스에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose a new 3D video coding method for heterogeneous display systems and network infrastructure over enhanced Access Grid (e-AG) using spatio-temporal scalability defined in MPEG-2. The proposed encoder produces several bit-streams for providing temporally and spatially scalable 3D video service. The generated bit-streams can be nelivered with proper spatio-temporal resolution according to network bandwidths and processing speeds, visualization capabilities of client systems. The functionality of proposed spatio-temporal scalability can be exploited for construction of highly scalable 3D video service in heterogeneous distributed environments.

In this paper, we propose a new stereoscopic video coding approach for heterogeneous consumer devices by exploiting the concept of spatio-temporal scalability. The proposed method uses MPEG-2 standard for coding the left or main sequence and an enhanced compatible coding scheme for predicting the P- and B-type of frames of the right or auxiliary sequence. The enhanced compatible coding scheme predicts matching block by interpolating both two forward and backward motion predicted macroblocks and disparity predicted macroblock. To provide flexible stereo video service, we define both a temporally scalable layer and a spatially scalable layer for each eye-view. The experimental results show the efficiency of proposed coding scheme by comparison with already known methods and the advantages of disparity estimation in terms of scalability overhead. According to the experimental results, we expect the proposed functionalities will play a key role in establishing highly flexible stereo video service for ubiquitous computing environment where devices and network connections are heterogeneous.

In this paper, we propose a new 3D coding method for heterogeneous systems over enhanced Access Grid (e-AG) with 3D display using spatio-temporal scalability. The proposed encoder produces four bit-streams: one base layer and enhancement layer l, 2 and 3. The base layer represents a video sequence for left eye with lower spatial resolution. An enhancement layer l provides additional bit-stream needed for reproduction of frames produced in base layer with full resolution. Similarly, the enhancement layer 2 represents a video sequence for right eye with lower spatial resolution and an enhancement layer 3 provides additional bit-stream needed for reproduction of its reference pictures with full resolution. In this system, temporal resolution reduction is obtained by dropping B-frames in the receiver according to network condition. The receiver system can select the spatial and temporal resolution of video sequence with its display condition by properly combining bit-streams.
