3-D video in day to day life will enhance the way we represent real-world sceneries and provide more natural conditions for human interaction. Therefore, 3-D video has the potential to be the next killer application in multimedia communications. However, the demand for resources (e.g. bandwidth), 3-D quality evaluations and providing error protection are challenges to be addressed. Thus, this book discusses the issues and potential solutions related to transmission of 3-D video over communication networks including compression, quality evaluations, error resilience and error concealment.
