Abstract

Integral imaging is a well-known 3D image recording and display technique. The huge size of integral imaging data requires a compression scheme to store and transmit 3D scenes. In the conventional compression scheme, the data amount of elemental images depends on the various recording condition such as the positional location of a 3D object, the illumination and specification of the lenslet array even if an identical pickup system is used. In this paper, to reduce the dependence of the image characteristics of elemental images on the pickup conditions, a compression scheme using block division on the elemental image of integral imaging is proposed. The proposed scheme provides an improved compression ratio by considering the local similarity of elemental images picked up from three-dimensional objects according to a positional location. To test the proposed scheme, various elemental images are picked up and a compression process is then carried out u sing a standard MPEG-4. Based on compression ratio results, the proposed compression scheme is improved by approximately 9% compared with the conventional compression method.

집적 영상 기술은 잘 알려진 3D 영상 기록 및 디스플레이 기술이다. 집적 영상에서 사용되는 대용량 데이터는 3D 영상을 저장하고 전송하기 위한 압축 기법을 요구한다. 기존의 압축 방법에서는 동일한 기록 시스템을 사용한 다할 지라도 요소 영상의 데이터 크기가 3D 물체의 위치, 조명과 렌즈 배열 등의 다양한 기록 조건에 따라 크게 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 기록 조건에 따른 요소 영상 특성의 의존성을 줄이기 위하여 집적 영상에서 요소 영상의 분할 영역을 이용한 압축 기법이 제안된다. 제안된 기법은 각 3D 물체의 픽업 위치에 따른 요소 영상의 지역적 유사성을 고려하여 향상된 압축률을 보여준다. 제안된 기법의 효율성을 보이기 위하여, 다양한 요소 영상들이 픽업되었고 표준 MPEG-4를 이용하여 압축이 진행되었다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 압축 기법이 기존의 압축 방식에 비하여 9%의 압축률 향상을 보였다.
