Abstract

A system and method manages multiview videos. A reference picture list is maintained for each current frame of multiple multiview videos. The reference picture list indexes temporal reference pictures, spatial reference pictures and synthesized reference pictures of the multiview videos. Then, each current frame of the multiview videos is predicted according to reference pictures indexed by the associated reference picture list during encoding and decoding.
