Hence, in stereo video encoding, the best overall rate vs. perceived-distortion performance may be achieved by reduction of the spatial, temporal, and/or quantization resolution of the second view, while keeping the first view in full resolution. In this paper, we address the best selection of unequal inter-view rate allocation strategy depending on the content of the video for a scalable multi-view video codec (SMVC)[1]. Since the perceived 3D video quality does not correlate well with the average PSNR of the two views, we propose a new quantitative measure using a weighted combination of two PSNR values and a jerkiness measure. We verified that unequal rate allocation between the left and right views results in better perceived stereo video quality. © 2008 IEEE.en10.1109/ICME.2008.4607634info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessConference Object11131116N/A
