Light field compression using disparity-compensated lifting
Bernd Girod, Chuo-Ling Chang, P. Ramanathan, Xiaoqing Zhu · 2003
We propose a novel approach for light field compression that incorporates disparity compensation into 4-D wavelet coding using disparity-compensated lifting. With this approach, we obtain the benefits of wavelet coding, including compression efficiency and scalability in all dimensions. Additionally, our proposed approach solves the irreversibility limitations of previous wavelet coding approaches. Experimental results show that the compression efficiency of the proposed technique outperforms current state-of-the-art wavelet coding techniques by a wide margin.
