MULTI-VIEW VIDEO CODING METHODS AND DEVICE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC H04N7/26 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: video coder has an encoder (100) for encoding a block in an image by choosing between time prediction and cross-view prediction in order to facilitate prediction for the block. The image is one of a set of images corresponding to multi-view video content and having different viewpoints with respect to the same or similar scene. The image is one of different viewpoints. High-level syntax is used to indicate application of cross-view prediction for the block.
