Summary

Streaming 3D video over communication networks for real-time application has many challenges. One of these is how to utilize the current limited network resources to achieve the best perceived 3D video quality. For the best received quality, the streaming applications need to dynamically perform rate control to adjust the encoding rate at the encoder side to fit in the current network status and maintain the playback smoothness at the decoder side. However, different coding tools and modes can be selected to meet the same target bit rate but result in different perceived quality. It is desired to have a fast selection method for near-optimal solutions to reduce the computation complexity at the encoder side. This chapter addresses both the rate control and the mode decision issue in the 3D video streaming applications.
