3.15. Even though the encoding of shape information is compulsory with any other aux-
iliary data stream (i.e. depth map), the MAC coder utilized in this topic is modified to
remove the shape coding requirement of MPEG-4 MAC. Consequently, this coding con-
figuration is expected to present improved coding efficiency compared to the original
MPEG-4 MAC coder
[55].
