  Abstract

This paper presents a depth boundary sharpening method for improved view synthesis in 3D video. In depth coding, distortion occurs around object boundaries, degrading the quality of synthesized images. In order to encounter this problem, the proposed method estimates an edge map for each frame to filter only the boundary regions. In particular, a window-based filter is employed to choose the most reliable pixel as the replacement considering three factors: frequency, similarity and closeness. The proposed method was implemented as post-processing of the deblocking filter in JMVC 8.3.Compared to the conventional methods, the proposed method generated 0.49 dB PSNR increase and 16.58% bitrate decrease on average. The improved portions were subjectively confirmed as well.
