Abstract :
A real-time MVC viewer for free-viewpoint navigation is demonstrated. MVC, a video coding standard for multi-view video, is an extension of the state-of-the-art H.264/AVC. Realizing parallel decoding and view synthesis is essential to develop real-time viewers. A new decoder architecture is introduced for the proposed viewer. In addition, a file format for MVC is introduced. View synthesis is performed entirely within GPU. It is demonstrated that the MVC viewer can decode a MVC bitstream and generate a virtual camera image in real-time.
