In this paper, we summarize 3D perception-oriented algorithms for perceptually driven 3D video coding. Several perceptual effects have been exploited for 2D video viewing; however, this is not yet the case for 3D video viewing. 3D video requires depth perception, which implies binocular effects such as con fl icts, fusion, and rivalry. A better understanding of these effects is necessary for 3D perceptual compression, which provides users with a more comfortable visual experience for video that is delivered over a channel with limited bandwidth. We present state-of-the-art of 3D visual attention models, 3D just-noticeable difference models, and 3D texture-synthesis models that address 3D human vision issues in 3D video coding and transmission.
