Abstract :
Depth images represent the distances of scene elements from a camera in 3D space; their efficient coding is crucial for emerging applications such as free-viewpoint TV and 3D video. An in-loop reconstruction filter that improves the depth-coding performance as well as the rendering quality of virtual views based upon the coded depth is proposed.
