1A Model-Based Approach for Coding 3D Head Sequences

Recently, the interest in 3D imaging has increased tremendously and alongside 3DTV has developed quickly both from a research and commercial point of view. The 3D video processing chain includes acquisition, representation, compression and display. We focus our attention on the compression step, introducing a novel technique for model-based 3D video coding. The method presented here is not an extension of a 2D video coding scheme to match the higher dimensionality of the data, but
