Abstract

This paper presents an overview and a quality analysis about the 3D-High Efficiency Video Coding (3D-HEVC) emergent video coding standard. The current coding structure and the main features introduced in 3D-HEVC is presented and compared to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. Besides, this paper shows a quality analysis comparison between Multiview Video Coding (MVC) standard and 3D-HEVC emergent standard, using the 3D Common Test Conditions (CTC). Through software evaluations, it is possible to notice that 3D-HEVC achieves a 51.8% coding efficiency gain in average when compared to MVC. These results represent an advance in 3D video coding, since 3D-HEVC emergent standard is able to almost duplicate the coding efficiency, achieving a bit rate saving of almost 50% for all the evaluated test video sequences.
