In addition, ROI-based video coding can also help to effectively reduce the number of encoding bitrates required for video transmission over networks, especially for the 3D-TV transmissions. Therefore, in this work, we propose a novel ROI-based bit allocation (BA) method which can adaptively extract and increase the visual quality of ROI while saving a huge number of encoding bitrates for video data. In the proposed method, we first detect and extract ROI based on the depth information obtained from 3D-TV video coding sequences. Then, based on the extracted ROI, a novel BA scheme is performed to solve the rate-distortion (R-D) optimization problem, in which the higher priority bitrates are adaptively assigned to ROI while the total encoding bitrates of video frames are kept satisfying all constraints required by the R-D optimization. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides much better higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) as compared to other conventional BA methods. publisher: VNU Journal of Science date: 2015 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Pham, Nam Thanh and Vu, Khuong Duy and Dinh, Trieu Duong and Le, Thanh Ha (2015) Efficient Region-of-Interest Based Adaptive Bit Allocation for 3D-TV Video Transmission over Networks.
