Abstract(in English) International standardization of multi-view and 3D video coding formats is now the hot topic at MPEG. For the latter, as an encoder input, video signals and depth maps are utilized simultaneously for efficient compression. Moreover, recently, video sequence with a depth map can be easily taken by an RGB-D (depth) sensor like Kinect. In this paper, we try to improve picture quality of H.265/HEVC compressed streams by using depth map. Concretely, we separate video signals into foreground and background, and detect the position of foreground regions by using this information. Furthermore, we detect boundary regions of video signals by using the depth map, and we achieve quality improvement of H.265/HEVC.
