The coding efficiency of Wyner-Ziv frames relies considerably on the quality of side information and the capability to
model the statistical dependency between the original frame and side information. In the field of distributed multi-view
video coding (DMVC), there are two kinds of side information, namely temporal side information (TSI), which is
generated by exploiting the temporal correlation, and inter-view side information (IVSI), which is generated by
exploiting the inter-view correlation. This paper proposes a new fusion method to get better side information by the
region-based combination of TSI and IVSI. Besides, an improved statistical model of "correlation channel" is proposed
to estimate the statistical dependency between the original frame and side information at the decoder. We call it Region-based
Correlation Channel Model (RCCM). The RCCM models the "correlation channel" between original frame and
side information at a fine granularity level by detecting the spatial quality variation of side information within each
Wyner-Ziv frame. Experimental results demonstrate that the RCCM can more accurately model the "correlation channel" between the original frame and side information and thus, less bits are required for decoding a Wyner-Ziv frame.
