three dimensional- high efficiency video coding (3D-HEVC) is the expanded version of the latest video compression standard, namely high efficiency video coding (HEVC), which is used to compress 3D videos. 3D videos include texture video and depth map. Since the statistical characteristics of depth maps are different from those of texture videos, new tools have been added to the HEVC standard fo...

Let F be a Jordan curve in the plane, i.e. the image of the unit circle C = {(x,y);x + y = 1} under an injective continuous mapping y into R. The Jordan curve theorem [1] says that / ? 2 \ F is disconnected and consists of two components. (We shall use the original definition whereby two points are in the same component if and only if they can be joined by a continuous path (image of [0,1]).) A...

Guaranteing the quality of face object in video call is the key task for video coding systems under the constrained bandwidth of network. Conventionally, the face object is divided into disperse blocks under the hybrid coding framework. Therefore, the characteristics of the complete face object have not been fully used. Meanwhile, it is difficult to predict the complex affine transformations su...

Intra coding in High efficiency video coding (HEVC) can significantly improve the compression efficiency using 35 intra-prediction modes for 2N×2N (N is an integer number ranging from six to two) luma blocks. To find the luma block with the minimum rate-distortion, it must perform 11932 different rate-distortion cost calculations. Although this approach improves coding efficiency compared to th...

Inter-view residual prediction (IVRP) is employed to efficiently code non-base texture views by exploiting the correlation of residues between two views in 3D video coding extension of HEVC (3D-HEVC). To further improve the performance of texture coding, advanced residual prediction (ARP) is proposed in this paper. In IVRP, residues in a non-base view are predicted from decoded residues in base...
