In this paper. we consider the multi-view video technology. The technology, which is a field of 3-Dimensional video processing, enables the user to watch the various view-point of video. We expect that the technology will be applicable to a lot of video services. The economic effects of new technology are very important concern for the technology developer and the technology development policy makers. We, therefore. propose a general method for the economic repercussion effects of the multi-view video technology. The method is based on the expert opinion and input-output analysis. The results for the multi-view video technology are included.

The multi-view video is a collection of multiple videos capturing the same scene at different viewpoints. The multi-view video can be used in various applications, including free viewpoint TV and three-dimensional TV. Since the data size of the multi-view video linearly increases as the number of cameras, it is necessary to compress multi-view video data for efficient storage and transmission. The multi-view video can be coded using the concept of the layered depth image (LDI). In this paper, we describe a procedure to generate LDI from the natural multi-view video and present a method to encode multi-view video using the concept of LDI.

Multi-view video consists of a set of multiple video sequences from multiple viewpoints or view directions in the same scene. It contains extremely a large amount of data and some extra information to be stored or transmitted to the user. This paper presents inter-view correlations among video objects and the background to reduce the prediction complexity while achieving a high coding efficiency in multi-view video coding. Our proposed algorism is based on object-based segmentation scheme that utilizes video object information obtained from the coded base view. This set of data help us to predict disparity vectors and motion vectors in enhancement views by employing object registration, which leads to high compression and low-complexity coding scheme for enhancement views. An experimental results show that the superiority can provide an improvement of PSNR gain 2.5.3 dB compared to the simulcast.

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. In experimental results, confirmed high compression performance and good quality reconstructed image.

This paper introduces a new texture prediction for MVC( Multi-view Video Coding) which is currently being developed as an extension of the ITU-T Recommendation H.264 | ISO/IEC International Standard ISO/IEC 14496-10 AVC (Advanced Video Coding) [1]. The MVC's prcimary target is 3D video compression for 3D display system, thus, key technology compared to 2D video compression is reducing inter-view correlation. It is noticed, however, that the current JMVM [2] does not effectively eliminate inter-view correlation so that there is still a room to improve coding efficiency. The proposed method utilizes similarity of interview residual signal and can provide an additional coding gain. It is claimed that up to 0.2dB PSNR gain with 1.4% bit-rate saving is obtained for three multi-view test sequences.

Multi-view video coding is an international encoding standard that attains good performance by fully utilizing temporal and inter-view correlations. However, it suffers from high computational complexity. This paper presents a fast encoder design to reduce the level of complexity. First, when the temporal correlation of a group of pictures is sufficiently strong, macroblock-based inter-view prediction is not employed for the non-anchor pictures of B-views. Second, when the disparity between two adjacent views is above some threshold, frame-based inter-view prediction is disabled. Third, inter-view prediction is not performed on boundary macroblocks in the auxiliary views, because the references for these blocks may not exist in neighboring views. Fourth, finer partitions of inter-view prediction are cancelled for macroblocks in static image areas. Finally, when estimating the disparity of a macroblock, the search range is adjusted according to the mode size distribution of the neighboring view. Compared with reference software, these techniques produce an average time reduction of 83.65%, while the bit-rate increase and peak signal-to-noise ratio loss are less than 0.54% and 0.05dB, respectively.

근래의 지속적인 멀티미디어 기술의 발전과 컨덴츠를 이용하는 사용자의 향상된 욕구가 부합하여 새로운 실감 미디어 기술이 창출되고 있다. 그 중에서 다시점 비디오는 3차원 TV, 자유 시점 비디오 등의 기반 기술로써 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 하지만 시점 수의 증가에 따른 부호화 시간 증가, 비트율 증가 등이 문제점으로 작용한다. 본 논문에서는 다시점 비디오의 부호화 효율을 높이기 위해 향상된 GoGOP 구조를 제안한다. 즉, Key 프레임 위치 조절, 동적인 I 프레임 수 그리고 동적인 B 프레임 수를 이용하는 방법을 적용하여 향상된 GoGOP 구조를 제안하였다. 실험 결과, 본 논문에서 제안한 기법이 Anchor 구조와 비교하여 유사한 PSNR 값을 가지면서, 비트율이 상당히 감소하였다.

사용자에게 보다 실감나는 입체감을 제공하기 위해 개발되고 있는 다시점 비디오는 두 대 이상의 카메라를 이용하여 촬영한 영상들을 기하학적으로 교정하고 공간적으로 처리하여 여러 방향의 다양한 시점 영상을 사용자에게 제공하는 3차원 영상처리 기술의 새로운 분야이다. 다시점 비디오는 사용자에게 시청 시점을 자유롭게 선택할 수 있는 기회를 주고 넓은 화면을 통한 3차원 입체감을 느낄 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 그러나 다시점 비디오는 시점 수가 증가하는 만큼 데이터 양도 증가하므로 효율적인 데이터 처리 방법이 요구된다. 최근 인접한 시점의 영상을 이용하여 중간시점의 영상을 합성하고 이를 부호화에 적용하는 방법이 연구되고 있다. 다시점 비디오 부호화 효율을 높이기 위해 제안되었던 기존의 영상보간법은 최대변위 설정과 고정된 블록을 이용한 블록정합 방법을 이용한다. 이때, 변위 종류가 다양한 영상이거나 변위차가 큰 영역에 대해서 변위 오류가 많이 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 보완하고 개선된 화질의 중간시점의 영상을 얻기 위한 방법과 이 영상을 이용하여 부호화에 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 영상보간법은 변위의 검색 범위를 초기에 설정하지 않고 블록 단위부터 화소 단위까지 변위를 측정하여 중간영상을 합성한다. 또한 이렇게 합성한 영상을 부호화 과정에서 참조 영상으로 추가하여 부호화한다. 이 논문에서 제안한 방법을 이용한 결과, 기존의 영상 보간법보다 약 $1{\sim}4dB$ 정도 개선된 화질의 중간시점 영상을 얻었고, 이 영상들을 이용하여 제안한 부호화 방법으로 부호화한 결과 참조 모델에 비해 최대 0.5 dB의 부호화 효율이 개선됨을 확인했다.

While single view video coding uses the temporal prediction scheme, multi-view video coding (MVC) applies both temporal and inter-view prediction schemes. Thus, the key problem of MVC is how to reduce the inter-view redundancy efficiently, because various existing video coding schemes have already provided solutions to reduce the temporal correlation. In this paper, we propose a global disparity compensation scheme which increases the inter-view correlation and a new inter-view prediction structure based on the global disparity compensation. By experiment, we demonstrate that the proposed global disparity compensation scheme is less sensitive to change of the search range. In addition, the new Inter-view prediction structure achieved about $0.1{\sim}0.3dB$ quality improvement compared to the reference software.

Since the world's first 3D commercial film with red-blue glasses was introduced in 1922, remarkable progress has been made in the field of 3D video. 3D video content gained enormous popularity with the movie "Avatar," which greatly increased the sale of 3D TVs. This momentum has weakened owing to lack of 3D content. However, the recent trend of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) made 360 VR video and 3D games using a head mounted display wide spread. All these experiences mentioned above require wearing glasses to enjoy 3D content. Super multi-view content technology, on the other hand, enables viewers to enjoy 3D content without glasses on a super multi-view display. In this article, we introduce the technologies used to make super multi-view content, interact with it, and author content, which are developed by ETRI.
