A new multiview just-noticeable-depth-difference(MJNDD) Model is presented and applied to compress the joint
multiview video plus depth. Many video coding algorithms remove spatial and temporal redundancies and statistical
redundancies but they are not capable of removing the perceptual redundancies. Since the final receptor of video is the
human eyes, we can remove the perception redundancy to gain higher compression efficiency according to the properties
of human visual system (HVS). Traditional just-noticeable-distortion (JND) model in pixel domain contains luminance
contrast and spatial-temporal masking effects, which describes the perception redundancy quantitatively. Whereas HVS
is very sensitive to depth information, a new multiview-just-noticeable-depth-difference(MJNDD) model is proposed by
combining traditional JND model with just-noticeable-depth-difference (JNDD) model. The texture video is divided into
background and foreground areas using depth information. Then different JND threshold values are assigned to these two
parts. Later the MJNDD model is utilized to encode the texture video on JMVC. When encoding the depth video, JNDD
model is applied to remove the block artifacts and protect the edges. Then we use VSRS3.5 (View Synthesis Reference
Software) to generate the intermediate views. Experimental results show that our model can endure more noise and the
compression efficiency is improved by 25.29 percent at average and by 54.06 percent at most compared to JMVC while
maintaining the subject quality. Hence it can gain high compress ratio and low bit rate.
