Multi-view video coding has higher demands on power consumption
complexity
storage capacity
and transmission capacity of the encoder
whereas the distributed source coding theory adapts to the needs. The basic theory and the key technology for distributed video coding are summarized firstly as the background information. Second
the expansion from single view to multi-view for distributed source coding theory is introduced. Then
the research status of distributed multi-view video coding is exposited. Finally
the development prospect for distributed source coding in the field of multi-view video coding is analyzed.
