An approach for the compression and transmission of the auto-stereo video providing adaptability, reliability and customer interactivity

This paper proposes a novel framework for the compression and transmission of the auto-stereo video. Based on the video-plus-depth data representation, this framework provides high adaptability, reliability and flexibility for the stereo display. Besides, it also permits the consumers to be interactive with the perception of the stereo video. The proposed compression approach for the video-plus-depth data representation utilizes the characteristics of the human vision system and reduces data amount effectively. The transmission approach, in combination with the data hiding technology and the effective coding algorithm, performs well in our framework. Both the early experiments of our research group and the theory analysis of the coding algorithm can guarantee the performance of the whole framework for the compression and transmission of the auto-stereo video. Technical challenges are identified in the end.
