Abstract
Spatial and temporal inconsistency of depth video deteriorates encoding efficiency in three dimensional video systems. A depth video processing algorithm based on human perception is presented. Firstly, a just noticeable rendering distortion (JNRD) model is formulated by combining the analyses of the influence of depth distortion on virtual view rendering with human visual perception characteristics. Then, depth video is processed based on the JNRD model from two aspects, spatial and temporal correlation enhancement. During the process of spatial correlation enhancement, depth video is segmented into edge, foreground, and background regions, and smoothened by Gaussian and mean filters. The operations of the temporal correlation enhancement include temporal–spatial transpose (TST), temporal smoothing filter and inverse TST. Finally, encoding and virtual view rendering experiments are conducted to evaluate the proposed algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can greatly reduce the bit rate while it maintains the quality of virtual view.
