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.
Claims22
An apparatus, comprising:
- an encoder for encoding, in 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 encoder codes each of the at least two views as a respective separate one of the multiple slice groups.
In a video encoder, a method, comprising:
- encoding, in 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 encoding step codes each of the at least two views as a respective separate one of the multiple slice groups.
