Abstract
A notable effort was spent on extending the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) for encoding Three-Dimensional (3D) video applications; this effort generated the 3D-HEVC standard. 3D-HEVC was defined using the Multiview Video plus Depth (MVD) data format, which is an innovative approach compared with the previous state-of-the-art 3D or Multiview coding standards. MVD includes a depth map associated with each texture view, requiring an extra effort in its encoding. Besides, due to differences between the texture and depth map characteristics, additional algorithms were inserted into 3D-HEVC for providing a better encoding quality in depth map coding, implying an increase in the encoding effort.
This chapter presents an overview of 3D-HEVC using depth map coding. Afterward, the contributions provided by this book are described, pointing to the respective chapters were these contributions are found. Finally, the outline of the book is presented.
