Abstract
Various implementations are described. Several implementations relate to one or more encoding modes that use depth information to determine a corresponding reference block. According to a general aspect, a portion of a first-view image from a first view in a multiple-view system is encoded. The portion is all or part of the first-view image. It is determined that a portion of a second-view image from a second view in the multiple-view system corresponds to the portion of the first-view image. The determination is based on a second-view depth value providing depth information for the portion of the second-view image. The portion of the second-view image is encoded using information from the encoding of the portion of the first-view image.
