Abstract

The large data volume of light field (LF) image has motivated much research on how to compress the data volume more efficiently. One of the approaches is to compress LF images after representing them in the form of pseudo video sequence. In this way, the pseudo temporal redundancy between views can be exploited by motion estimation and compensation. Based on our observation that images obtained by LF cameras have small range of disparity values between adjacent views, we propose to limit the motion search range to reduce the time complexity of motion estimation. Our experimental results show that a smaller motion search range reduces the encoding time while not affecting the bitrate of H.266/VVC much.
