Abstract
There are provided methods and apparatus for the use of slice groups in encoding and decoding multi-view video coding (MVC) information. An apparatus and method are described which encodes at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content using multiple slice groups. Furthermore, an apparatus and method are described for decoding at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content using multiple slice groups.
Claims23
An apparatus, comprising:
- a decoder for decoding, from a single picture, at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content using multiple slice groups,
- wherein the at least two views correspond to a same or similar scene, and
- wherein said decoder decodes each of the at least two views as a respective separate one of the multiple slice groups.
In a video decoder, a method, comprising:
- decoding, from a single picture, at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content using multiple slice groups,
- wherein the at least two views correspond to a same or similar scene, and
- wherein said decoding step decodes each of the at least two views as a respective separate one of the multiple slice groups.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage media having video signal data encoded thereupon, comprising:
- at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content encoded by an encoder into a single picture using multiple slice groups,
- wherein the at least two views correspond to a same or similar scene, and
- wherein each of the at least two views is coded as a respective separate one of the multiple slice groups.
