We have previously extended QL to multiview scalable video for efficient transport of 3DTV over the Internet [2]. However, it is not possible to use the QL method in applications that require real-time encoding since priority determination process assumes the availability of the whole stereo video sequence. In this work, a Viterbi-like on-line, joint optimization of right and left view rate-adaptation is proposed for real-time scalable stereo video coding (with one GoP delay). We assume that the encoder/extractor is aware of the available dynamic network bandwidth in order to perform rate-distortion optimized MGS layer selection for each GoP. Experimental results show that the performance of proposed on-line method is comparable to that of QL that would require the whole stereo sequence.Electrical electronics engineeringImaging systemsPhotographyConference proceeding287728002172N/A8313
