Abstract

We propose a novel method of exploiting inter-view correlation among cameras that have overlapping views in order to deliver error-resilient video in a distributed multi-camera system. The main focus in this work is on robustness which is imminently needed in a wireless setting. Our system has low encoding complexity, is robust while satisfying tight latency constraints, and requires no inter-sensor communication. In this work, we build on and generalize PRISM [Puri2002], an earlier proposed single-camera distributed video compression system. Specifically, decoder motion search, a key attribute of single-camera PRISM, is extended to the multi-view setting to include decoder disparity search based on two-view camera geometry. Our proposed system, dubbed PRISM-MC (PRISM multi-camera), achieved PSNR gains of up to 1.7 dB over a PRISM based simulcast solution in experiments over a wireless channel simulator.
