Edge-preserving Intra mode for efficient depth map coding based on H.264/AVC

作者:

Highlights:

• A new Intra mode for depth coding is proposed.

• Edge macroblocks are bi-partitioned and partitions approximated by flat surfaces.

• Edge information is predictively encoded by means of context based coding.

• Significant coding gains over H.264/AVC and state-of-the-art methods are observed.
