In order to improve the decoding quality of depth map video in Distributed Multi-view Video plus Depth (DMVD) coding, a new non-uniform quantization scheme based on the sub-band layer and sub-band coefficients was proposed in wavelet domain Distributed Video Coding (DVC). The main idea was allocating more bits to pixels belong to the edge of depth map and consequently improving the quality of the depth map. According to the distribution characteristics of the wavelet coefficients of depth map, the low frequency wavelet coefficients of layer- N kept the uniform quantization scheme, while the high frequency wavelet coefficients of all layers used the non-uniform quantization scheme. For the high frequency wavelet coefficients around "0", larger quantization step was adopted. As the amplitude of the high frequency wavelet coefficients increased, the quantization step decreased, with finer quantization and the quality of the edge was improved consequently. The experimental results show that, for "Dancer" and "PoznanHall2" depth sequence with more edges, the proposed scheme can achieve up to 1.2 dB in terms of the Rate-Distortion (R-D) performance improvement by improving the quality of edges; for "Newspaper" and "Balloons" depth sequences with less edges, the proposed scheme can still get 0.3 dB of the R-D performance.
