Abstract
A method and apparatus for three-dimensional video coding using the virtual depth information are disclosed. For a current texture block in the dependent view, the method incorporating the present invention first derives an estimated disparity vector to locate a corresponding texture block in a coded view. A collocated depth block in the coded view collocated with the corresponding texture block in the coded view is identified and used to derive the virtual depth information. One aspect of the present invention addresses derivation process for the estimated disparity vector. Another aspect of the present invention addresses the usage of the derived virtual depth information.
