A framework for view progressive coding of light field
Cristian Perra, Daniele Giusto · 2018
This paper presents a framework enabling progressive access to light field views aiming at reducing the network load and storage capacity issues commonly related to light field applications. The proposed architecture is based on grouping light field views into fully configurable arrangements followed by standard image or video coding. A consumer device on the bases of the light field rendering application requirements sends a request to the light field server with the set of views, the coding format to be applied and the coding parameters. The light field server processes the request and sends the encoded bitstream to the consumer device.
