Abstract:Multi-view video plus depth (MVD) is a new 3D video format that would support 3D application developed by MPEG.Such a format is a combination of texture video and associate d depth maps.For 3viewing angles,there are 6MVD components (texture center view,texture left view,te xture right view,depth center view, depth left view and depth right view) in total for every time entity.The AVC-ba sed test model (ATM) implements the joint encoding of MVD format.And due to the functionality and validity,the ATM makes the encoding of MVD more and more effective.Therefore,this makes compressed bit-streams very sensitive to transmission errors and leads to error propagation easily.In order to avoid t he error propagation,effective error concealment (EC) algorithms are necessary.An error concealment method for ATM i s proposed in this paper to improve video quality at decoder when video bit stream data with transmissi on errors.Based on the relationships between depth map and texture map,the inter -view correlation and the intra-view correlation,this paper proposes the corresponding operations to reconstruct the lost MBs in different views.Exp erimental results show that the proposed method is superior to the conventional concealment algorithms in terms of subjective evaluation.
