Multi-view video including depth image is necessary to develop a new compression encoding technique for storage and transmission, because of a huge amount of data. Layered depth image is an efficient representation method of multi-view video data. This method makes a data structure that is synthesis of multi-view color and depth image. This efficient method to compress new contents is suggested to use layered depth image representation and to apply for video compression encoding by using 3D warping. This paper proposed enhanced compression method using layered depth image representation and H.264/AVC video coding technology. In experimental results, we confirmed high compression performance and good quality of reconstructed image.

Free viewpoint TV can provide multi-angle view point images for viewer needs. In the real world, But all angle view point images can not be captured by camera. Only a few any angle view point images are captured by each camera. Group of the captured images is called multi-view image. Therefore free viewpoint TV wants to production of virtual sub angle view point images form captured any angle view point images. Interpolation methods are known of this problem general solution. To product interpolated view point image of correct angle need to depth image of multi-view image. Unfortunately, multi-view video including depth image is necessary to develop a new compression encoding technique for storage and transmission because of a huge amount of data. Layered depth image is an efficient representation method of multi-view video data. This method makes a data structure that is synthesis of multi-view color and depth image. This paper proposed enhanced compression method using layered depth image representation and H.264/AVC video coding technology.

Since multi-view video exists a number of camera color image and depth image, it has a huge of data. Thus, a new compression technique is indispensable for reducing this data. Recently, the effective compression encoding technique for multi-view video that used in layered depth image concepts is a remarkable. This method uses several view point of depth information and warping function, synthesizes multi-view color and depth image, becomes one data structure. In this paper we use actual distance for solving overlap in layered depth image that reduce required data for reconstructing in color-based transform. In experimental results, we confirmed high compression performance and good quality of reconstructed image.

Cloud gaming services are heavily dependent on the efficiency of real-time video streaming technology owing to the limited bandwidths of wire or wireless networks through which consecutive frame images are delivered to gamers. Video compression algorithms typically take advantage of similarities among video frame images or in a single video frame image. This paper presents a method for computing and extracting both graphics information and an object's boundary from consecutive frame images of a game application. The method will allow video compression algorithms to determine the positions and sizes of similar image blocks, which in turn, will help achieve better video compression ratios. The proposed method can be easily implemented using function call interception, a programmable graphics pipeline, and off-screen rendering. It is implemented using the most widely used Direct3D API and applied to a well-known sample application to verify its feasibility and analyze its performance. The proposed method computes various kinds of graphics information with minimal overhead.

The multi-view video is a collection of multiple videos capturing the same scene at different viewpoints. Thus, there is an advantage of providing for user oriented view pointed video. This paper is suggested that the compression performance of layered depth image structure expression has improved by using more improved method. We confirm the data size of layer depth image by encoding H.264 technology and the each performances of reconstructed images. The H.264/AVC technology has easily extended for H.264 technology of video contents. In this paper, we suggested that layered depth structure can be applied for an efficient new image contents. We show that the huge data size of multi-view video image is decreased, and the higher performance of image is provided, and there is an advantage of for stressing error restoring.

In this paper, proposed digital image watermarking technique with lifting wavelet transformation. This watermark technique can be easily extended in video content fields. Therefore, we apply this watermark technique to layered depth image structure that is efficient compression method of multi-view video with depth images. This application steps are very simple, because watermark is inserted only reference image. And watermarks of the other view images borrow from reference image. Each view image of multi-view video may be guaranteed authentication and copyright.

We propose an efficient coding method of digital holograms using MCTF and standard compression tools for video. The hologram is generated by a computer-generated hologram (CGH) algorithm with both an object image and its depth information. The proposed coding consists of localization by segmenting a hologram, frequency transform using $64\times64$ segment size, 2-D discrete cosine transform DCT for extracting redundancy, motion compensated temporal filtering (MCTF), segment scanning the segmented hologram to form a video sequence, and video coding, which uses H.264/AVC. The proposed algorithm illustrates that it has better properties for reconstruction, 10% higher compression rate than previous research in case of object.

IBDI (Internal Bit Depth Increase) is able to significantly improve the coding efficiency of high definition video compression by increasing the bit depth (or precision) of internal arithmetic operation. However the scheme also increases required internal memory for storing decoded reference frames and this can be significant for higher definition of video contents. So, the reference frame memory compression method is proposed to reduce such internal memory requirement. The reference memory compression is performed on 4x4 block called the processing unit to compress the decoded image using the correlation of nearby pixel values. This method has successively reduced the reference frame memory while preserving the coding efficiency of IBDI. However, additional information of each processing unit has to be stored also in internal memory, the amount of additional information could be a limitation of the effectiveness of memory compression scheme. To relax this limitation of previous memory compression scheme, we propose a selective merging-based reference frame memory compression algorithm, dramatically reducing the amount of additional information. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides much smaller overhead than that of the previous algorithm while keeping the coding efficiency of IBDI.
