In the free viewpoint television systems, video coder often has to operate within fixed bandwidth limitations over the network. This paper firstly shows detailed coding results at the target bit rates and selects the optimal combinations of quantization parameters (QPs) for video and depth. Then the joint coding for multi-view video plus depth which utilizes the optimal combination of the QPs is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed coding method decreases the bit-rate by
more » ... .07%~24.02% in comparison with JMVC, while the proposed method has better performance in optimizing the tradeoff between bit-rate and visual quality.
