Abstract:
1. A multi-view video coding method comprising: coding a multi-view video by performing at least one of inter prediction and intra prediction; and coding a depth information video corresponding to the coded multi-view video using motion information of the coded multi-view video or prediction information in accordance with the at least one of inter prediction and intra prediction of the coded multi-view video, wherein a flag bit is inserted, and the flag bit indicates whether motion information for a current frame of the depth information video is identical to the motion information of the coded multi-view video and includes the prediction information in accordance with the at least one of inter prediction and intra prediction, wherein the motion information of the coded multi-view video is inherently used to code the depth information video, wherein the prediction information in accordance with the inter prediction comprises the motion information in accordance with the inter prediction, when the motion information for a current frame is identical to the motion information of the coded multi-view video, the flag bit is equal to 1, when the motion information for a current frame is not identical to the motion information of the coded multi-view video, the flag bit is equal to 0.
