Subjective tests • A single-stimulus test was conducted • 15 spectators • quality was rated from • 5 (“imperceptible artifacts”) to • 0 (“very bad with annoying artifacts”) • The original video from actual real camera was used as hidden reference. M16758 – Influence of views

Optimal QD for depth map • Depth quantization parameter index QD has negligible (less than 0.2 dB decrease) impact on synthesized view quality as long its value is smaller than the following threshold estimated from the experiments M16758 – Influence of views
it is possible to transmit the depth maps using MVC codec with sufficient quality view quality is much more important than depth quality in terms of synthesized view quality depth bitrate can be kept as low as 10 - 20 % of total bitrate without significant loss of synthesized view quality (for decimated depth map) Conclusions 1/2 M16758 – Influence of views
Conclusions 2/2 • for a certain range of values of quantization parameter index for depth compression (QD) , no change of synthesized view quality is noticeable • higher compression rate with comparable quality can be obtained by decimating the depth map by a factor of 2 M16758 – Influence of views
We recommend to consider usage of decimated depth map in future depth map coding experiments. Recommendations M16758 – Influence of views
