The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) has been developing a 3D video (3DV) coding standard for depth-based 3DV data representations, especially for multiview video plus depth (MVD) format. With MVD, depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) is used to synthesize virtual views that are based on a few transmitted pairs of texture and depth data. In this paper, we discuss ongoing 3DV standardization and summarize coding tools proposed in the responses to MPEG’s call for proposals on 3DV coding.
