To obtain a method and a system in which each current frame of multiview videos is predicted according to reference pictures indexed by an associated reference picture list with a synthesis skip mode/synthesis direct mode, whereby side information is inferred from the synthesized reference picture.
The method processes multiview videos of a scene in which each video is acquired by a corresponding camera arranged at a particular pose, and in which a view of each camera overlaps with the view of at least one other camera. Side information for synthesizing a particular view of the multiview video is obtained in either an encoder or a decoder. A synthesized multiview video is synthesized from the multiview videos and the side information. A reference picture list is maintained for each current frame of each of the multiview videos, and the reference picture list indexes temporal reference pictures and spatial reference pictures of the acquired multiview video and the synthesized reference pictures of the synthesized multiview video.
