We consider the problem of estimating and encoding depth maps from multiple views in the context of 3D-TV with free-viewpoint rendering. We propose a novel codec based on the Rate...
The structural similarity (SSIM) index has been found to be a good indicator of perceived image quality. In this paper, we propose a rate-SSIM optimization scheme for mode selecti...

Rate-Distortion optimization can significantly improve encoder performance in MPEG-like video coding applications especially when it is applied to coding mode selection and motion...
— The Lagrangian technique proves to be an effective way in Rate-Distortion optimization for hybrid video coding. In this paper, an new Lagrange multiplier selection method for I...
