초록

본 논문에서는 집적 영상을 효율적으로 압축하는 방법을 제안한다. 집적 영상은 3차원 영상을 기록하고 표현하는 대표적인 기술이다. 제안된 방법은 3D 이산 코사인 변환(3D-DCT)를 기반으로 하고 있다. 집적 영상 부호화에서 3D-DCT는 인접요소 영상간의 중복성을 줄이는 효율적인 압축 방법으로 알려져 있다. 제안방법은 3D-DCT에 기반 하면서 적응적인 블록 모드를 이용한 효과적인 집적영상 압축 방법으로서, 영상의 특성에 따라 적응적으로 3D-DCT 블록을 구성함으로써 가변블록 크기 3D-DCT 블록을 생성하고, 이 가변블록 크기의 3D 블록에 대해 3D-DCT를 수행한다. 실험 결과를 보면 제안방법이 기존 방법과 비교해서 더욱 높은 압축 효율을 보여주었다. 특히 영상이 복잡하여 많은 비트량이 발생하는 영상이 오버헤드 비트의 영향이 적기 때문에 더 좋은 압축 효율을 보여주었다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient compression method of the integral images. The integral imaging is a well-known technique to represent and record three-dimensional images. The proposed method is based on three dimensional discrete cosine transform (3D-DCT). The 3D-DCT techniques for the integral images have been reported as an efficient coding method for the integral images which reduces the redundancies between adjacent elemental images. The proposed method is a compression method efficient to integral images using adaptive block mode(ABM), based on the 3D-DCT technique. In the ABM, 3D-DCT blocks adaptive to the characteristics of integral images are constructed, which produces variable block size 3D-DCT blocks, and then 3D-DCTs for the 3D blocks are performed. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives significant improvement in coding efficiency. Especially, at the high bit-rates, the proposed method is more excellent since the overhead incurred by the proposed method take less part of the total bits.
