Özet:Emerging 3-D applications and 3-D display technologies raise some transmission problems of the next-generation multimedia data. Multi-view Video Coding (MVC) is one of the challenging topics in this area, that is on its road for standardization via ISO MPEG. In this thesis, a 3-D geometry-based MVC approach is proposed and analyzed in terms of its compression performance. For this purpose, the overall study is partitioned into three preceding parts. The first step is dense depth estimation of a view from a fully calibrated multi-view set. The calibration information and smoothness assumptions are utilized for determining dense correspondences via a Markov Random Field (MRF) model, which is solved by Belief Propagation (BP) method. In the second part, the estimated dense depth maps are utilized for generating (predicting) arbitrary (other camera) views of a scene, that is known as novel view generation. A 3-D warping algorithm, which is followed by an occlusion-compatible hole-filling process, is implemented for this aim. In order to suppress the occlusion artifacts, an intermediate novel view generation method, which fuses two novel views generated from different source views, is developed. Finally, for the last part, dense depth estimation and intermediate novel view generation tools are utilized in the proposed H.264-based MVC scheme for the removal of the spatial redundancies between different views. The performance of the proposed approach is compared against the simulcast coding and a recent MVC proposal, which is expected to be the standard recommendation for MPEG in the near future. These results show that the geometric approaches in MVC can still be utilized, especially in certain 3-D applications, in addition to conventional temporal motion compensation techniques, although the rate-distortion performances of geometry-free approaches are quite superior.
