Block-based Illumination Compensation and Search Techniques for Multiview Video Coding ´ Joaquin Lopez, Jae Hoon Kim, Antonio Ortega George Chen jlopez,jaekim,ortega @ george-qian.chen@ Signal and Image Processing Institute Advanced System Technology Department of Electrical Engineering STMicroelectronics University of Southern California 4690 Executive Dr, Suite 200 Los Angeles, CA 90089-2564 San Diego, CA 92121 Abstract— We consider block-based interview coding compensation we compress the interview prediction resid- techniques for multiview video sequences that are robust uals using standard approaches (in our case coding tools in to illumination variations across views. We consider both the H.264/AVC standard.) While interview and interframe global illumination differences which could be due to lack of camera calibration or heterogeneity, as well as local coding appear to be similar, interview coding poses specific ilumination changes caused by lack of camera aligment. problems that may render inefficient a direct application of We propose a two-parameter model for illumination motion search and estimation techniques [3]. In this paper, compensation (IC) that is used at the block matching search we focus on (i) global and local illumination mismatches step and can be adaptively applied by taking i
