Depth maps are crucial for many visual applications, where they represent the positioning
information of the objects in a three‐dimensional scene. Usually, depth maps can be …

Stereoscopic 3D content brings with it a variety of complex technological and perceptual
issues. For the percept of depth to be convincing, consistent, and comfortable, a large …

This paper presents an efficient depth map coding method based on a newly defined
rendering view distortion function. As compared to the conventional depth map coding in …

Multi-view depth is crucial for describing positioning information in 3D space for virtual
reality, free viewpoint video, and other interaction-and remote-oriented applications …

In three-dimensional (3D) video coding, distortion in texture video and depth maps can all
affect the quality of the synthesized virtual views. Therefore, under the total bitrate constraint …

A neurological illness is t he disorder in human nervous system that can result in various
diseases including the motor disabilities. Neurological disorders may affect the motor …

In this paper, we propose a view synthesis distortion model (VSDM) that establishes the
relationship between depth distortion and view synthesis distortion for the regions with …

Image based rendering is an attractive alternative to model based rendering for generating
novel views because of its lower complexity and potential for photo-realistic results. To …

In three-dimensional videos (3-DV) coding systems, depth maps are not used for viewing but
for rendering virtual views. Therefore, the traditional rate distortion criterion (including …

Recent work on depth map compression has revealed the importance of incorporating a
description of discontinuity boundary geometry into the compression scheme. We propose a …
