    This dissertation describes the research and development of some techniques to enhance the disparity compensation in 3D video compression algorithms. Disparity compensation is usually performed using a block matching technique between views, disregarding the various levels of disparity present for objects at different depths in the scene. An alternative coding scheme is proposed, taking advantage of the cameras setup information and the object’s depth in the scene, to compensate more complex spatial distortions, being able to improve disparity compensation even with convergent cameras. In order to perform a more accurate disparity compensation, the reference picture list is enriched with additional geometrically transformed images, for the most relevant object’s levels of depth in the scene, resulting from projections of one view to another. This scheme can be implemented in any state-of-the-art video codec, as H.264/AVC or HEVC, in order to improve the disparity matching accuracy between views. Experimental results, using MV-HEVC extension, show the efficiency of the proposed method for coding stereo video, presenting bitrate savings up to 2.87%, for convergent camera sequences, and 1.52% for parallel camera sequences. Also a method to choose the geometrically transformed inter view reference pictures was developed, in order to reduce unnecessary overhead for unused reference pictures. By selecting and adding to the reference picture list, only the most useful pictures, all results improved, presenting bitrate savings up to 3.06% for convergent camera sequences, and 2% for parallel camera sequences.
