Claim:
1. A method of motion vector prediction for multi-view video coding of video content from multiple camera views, said method comprising: estimating, for a current pixel block in a current frame of a current camera view of said multiple camera views, a motion vector identifying a reference pixel area in a reference frame of a reference camera view of said multiple camera views, said current camera view being different from said reference camera view; providing at least one candidate motion vector predictor associated with a pixel block in a first frame of a first camera view of said multiple camera views and identifying a pixel area in a first reference frame of a first reference camera view of said multiple camera views, said first camera view being different from said first reference camera view; determining a scaling factor, for said at least one candidate motion vector predictor, based on a baseline distance between said current camera view and said reference camera view and a baseline distance between said first camera view and said first reference camera view; determining, for said at least one candidate motion vector predictor, a scaled candidate motion vector predictor based on said candidate motion vector predictor multiplied by said scaling factor; and determining a motion vector predictor for said motion vector based on said at least one scaled candidate motion vector predictor.
