Abstract:
1. A method for processing a plurality of multiview videos of a scene, in which each video is acquired by a corresponding camera arranged at a particular pose, and in which a view of each camera overlaps with the view of at least one other camera, comprising the steps of: obtaining side information for synthesizing a particular view of the multiview video; synthesizing a synthesized multiview video from the plurality of multiview videos and the side information; generating, for each block of a current picture, a motion vector predictor (MVP) list, wherein the MVP list indexes a set of motion vectors associated with neighboring blocks in: determining, for each block of the current picture, a motion vector predictor from the set of motion vectors indexed by the MVP list; deriving, for each block of the current picture, the motion vector based on the motion vector predictor; maintaining a reference picture list for each current picture of each of the plurality of multiview videos, the reference picture indexing temporal reference pictures and spatial reference pictures of the plurality of acquired multiview videos and the synthesized reference pictures of the synthesized multiview video; and predicting each block of the current picture of the plurality of multiview videos according to reference pictures indexed by the associated reference picture list and the derived motion vector, wherein the steps are performed in a decoder.
