This chapter presents an overview of the state-of-the-art research on computational effort reduction of the intra-frame prediction, and inter-frame and inter-view predictions, which are the two main topics that this book is focused.

Energy consumption is a momentous problem that severely challenges further design and application of networks. While most researches work on a local view of some aspects (e.g. some devices used in networks) of the energy consumption problems in networks, there has been ...

This chapter summarizes the conclusions and the contributions described along with this book. It highlights the importance of reducing the encoding effort of the Three-Dimensional High Efficiency Video Coding (3D-HEVC) depth maps and presents a brief description of the ...
