Abstract
A technique for encoding and decoding data pertaining to multiple video views is presented. A method embodiment of the encoding technique comprises the steps of providing first picture stream belonging to a first view and performing a first encoding operation to encode a picture of the first picture stream. The first encoding operation is based on a single-view video codec and provides encoder state information relevant for the encoding of another picture of the first picture stream. Also provided is a second picture stream belonging to a second video view. A second encoding operation is performed to encode a picture of the second picture stream based on the single-view video codec, wherein the second encoding operation is based on the encoder state information provided by the first encoding operation. On the basis of the encoded picture of the first picture stream and encoded picture of the second picture stream, dedicated video streams are generated.
