MV-HEVC\u2019s framework is similar to that of H.264-MVC, which uses a multi-layer coding approach. Hence, MV-HEVC would require all frames from other reference layers decoded prior to decoding a new layer. Thus, the multi-layer coding architecture would be a bottleneck when it comes to quicker frame streaming across different views. In this paper, an HEVC-based Frame Interleaved Stereo\/Multiview Video Codec (HEVC-FISMVC) that uses a single layer encoding approach to encode stereo and multiview video sequences is presented. The frames of stereo or multiview video sequences are interleaved in such a way that encoding the resulting monoscopic video stream would maximize the exploitation of temporal, inter-view, and cross-view correlations and thus improving the overall coding efficiency. The coding performance of the proposed HEVC-FISMVC codec is assessed and compared with that of the standard MV-HEVC\u2019s performance for three standard multi-view video sequences, namely: \u201cPoznan_Street\u201d, \u201cKendo\u201d and \u201cNewspaper1\u201d. Experimental results show that the proposed codec provides more substantial coding gains than the anchor MV-HEVC for coding both stereo and multi-view video sequences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info13120554","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,28]],"date-time":"2022-11-28T07:01:30Z","timestamp":1669618890000},"page":"554","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["HEVC Based Frame Interleaved Coding Technique for Stereo and Multi-View Videos"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Bruhanth","family":"Mallik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Built Environment, Engineering and Computing, Headingley Campus, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds LS6 3QR, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0677-7083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akbar","family":"Sheikh-Akbari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Built Environment, Engineering and Computing, Headingley Campus, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds LS6 3QR, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pooneh","family":"Bagheri Zadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Built Environment, Engineering and Computing, Headingley Campus, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds LS6 3QR, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salah","family":"Al-Majeed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, University of Lincoln, Brayford Pool, Lincoln LN6 7TS, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1155\/2009\/786015","article-title":"The emerging MVC standard for 3D video services","volume":"2009","author":"Chen","year":"2008","journal-title":"EURASIP J.
