Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and apparatuses for motion skip mode in multi-view coded video using regional disparity vectors are provided. An image block of a picture corresponding to a view of multi-view video content is encoded by obtaining motion information for the image block based upon disparity information for a first region of plural regions of another picture. The other picture corresponds to another view of the multi-view video content, and each region corresponds to less than an entirety of the other picture. Each region includes multiple image blocks, with each region having been determined based on a similarity among disparity vectors of the multiple image blocks. The disparity information for the first region includes a regional disparity vector determined from the disparity vectors of the multiple image blocks of the first region.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: an encoder for encoding an image block of a picture corresponding to at least one view of multi-view video content by obtaining motion information for the image block based upon disparity information for a first region of a plurality of regions of an other picture, the other picture corresponding to at least one other view of the multi-view video content, and each region corresponding to less than an entirety of the other pictu…
