Predictive image compression for interactive remote visualization
G.M. Cortelazzo, Pietro Zanuttigh · 2004
The standard way of remotely visualizing 3D models is by first downloading them to the user's computer, and then rendering them. This approach is plagued by many problems which can be overcome by moving the rendering at server's side and by essentially turning interactive visualization into the transmission of user's prompted images. How to effectively compress the rendered views which need to be transmitted to the client is a fundamental issue within this remote visualization scenario. This work presents a predictive compression scheme for remote visualization based on image based rendering. Its experimental performance is discussed with respect to the use of JPEG and JPEG2000 within it.
