FIELD: physics, video.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to encoding and decoding video, and more specifically to methods and a device for use in a multi-view video coding (MVC) system. The device for encoding multi-view video includes: an encoder for encoding at least two views corresponding to multi-view video content into a resultant binary signal stream, wherein the resultant binary signal stream is encoded to include special view-related information indicating the decoding relationship between at least some of the at least two views.
EFFECT: providing effective arbitrary access in multi-view compressed binary signal streams.
