Abstract :
The depth map represents three-dimensional (3D) data and is used for depth image-based rendering (DIBR) to synthesize virtual views. Since the quality of synthesized virtual views highly depends on the quality of the depth map, we encode the depth map by lossless coding mode. However, context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) for the H.264/AVC standard does not guarantee the best coding performance for lossless depth map coding because CABAC was originally designed for lossy coding. In this paper, we propose an improved coding method of CABAC for lossless depth map coding considering the statistical properties of residual data from lossless depth map coding. Experimental results show that the proposed CABAC method provides approximately 4.3% bit saving, compared to the original CABAC in H.264/AVC.
