Mobile 3D video broadcast

In this paper, we present a complete framework of an end-to-end error resilient transmission of 3D video over Digital Video Broadcasting - Handheld (DVB-H) and provide an extensive analysis of coding and transmission parameters. We perform the analysis for different coding and error resilience schemes using different contents coded at different bitrate levels. Throughout the experiments, we investigate the effects of video content type, video bitrate, coding method and unequal protection level for different channel conditions. The results show that Multi-view Coding (MVC) coding outperforms Simulcast and distribution of available bitrate between video quality and Forward Error Correction (FEC) protection is an important factor in different channel conditions.
