HEVC-Compatible Extensions for Advanced Coding of 3D and Multiview Video
This article provides an overview of standardized extensions of HEVC for the advanced coding of 3D and multiview video. In those extensions, new coding tools that better exploit the inter-view redundancy of the multiview texture videos have been developed. Additionally, dedicated tools for the improved coding of depth have been extensively studied and incorporated into the standard. In this paper, the performance of these extensions is assessed, and experimental results demonstrate notable gains in coding efficiency.
