Abstract

Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is an emerging video coding approach, particularly attractive due to its flexibility to implement low complex encoders. This feature could be very effectively utilized in a number of video sensor based application scenarios. However, DVC is still in the process of development and currently available codec implementations are mainly based on monoscopic implementations. In this paper, we analyze the performance of a stereoscopic DVC codec in a wireless error prone channel. Simulation results show that the DVC stereoscopic codec outperforms the H.264/AVC I-P-I-P codec (v10.1/baseline profile); particularly at low signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels of the channel, thus proving stereoscopic DVC to be a viable option to be used very effectively for video communications.
