Abstract

The invention discloses a light-field image compression method based on linear reconstruction. The light-field image compression method comprises the steps of decomposing a light-field image into viewing angle image arrays and then dividing into A and B sets; at an encoding end, performing compression on viewing angle images in the A set by adopting a first video encoder, transmitting a code stream to a video decoder at the encoding end and a video decoder at a decoding end, obtaining a relationship between viewing angle images in the B set and the viewing angle images in the A set by combining the viewing angle images in the B set with viewing angle images reconstructed by the video decoder at the encoding end in the A set and utilizing a linear reconstruction theory of light-field viewing angle images, and transmitting the relationship to a second video decoder at the decoding end; at the decoding end, reconstructing the B set by utilizing the linear reconstruction theory of the light-field viewing angle images and combining with decoding results of the first and second video decoders at the decoding end; and re-forming the light-field image by utilizing the reconstructed A set and B set. According to the method, encoding data at the encoding end can be greatly reduced, and are reconstructed at the decoding end with a relatively good quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of light field image compression, in particular to a linear reconstruction-based light field image compression method. Background technique [0002] The light field camera can record the light intensity and direction information (ie light field information) in the space scene. Inside a light-field camera, a microlens array is placed in front of the CCD sensor, near the focal length of the main lens. Each microlens corresponds to a pixel block (ie, macropixel), and the light field image consists of N*M macropixels, where N and M are the height and width of the microlens array, respectively. If each microlens is regarded as a small hole, the back of the main lens forms an inverted image on each macro pixel—that is, each macro pixel can be regarded as a sampling of the main lens in a specific direction. [0003] Under the same spatial resolution, the amount of data is hundreds of times that of traditional 2D ...
