Method and Apparatus for Providing Reduced Resolution Update Mode for Multi-View Video Coding

[0018]The present invention is directed to methods and apparatus for illumination compensation and color compensation for Multi-view Video Coding (MVC). The color compensation may be applied to at least one color component.

[0019]Advantageously, embodiments of the present invention provide improved coding compression of simulcast multi-view data. As used herein, a multi-view sequence is a set of two or more video sequences that capture the same scene from different view points. It is to be appreciated that the teachings of illumination compensation and color compensation as disclosed herein may be used jointly or separately in various embodiments of the present principles, while maintaining the scope of the present principles.

[0020]The present description illustrates the principles of the present invention. It will thus be appreciated that those skilled in the art will be able to devise various arrangements that, although not explicitly described or shown herein, embody the principles o
