3D Holoscopic video coding using MVC

Integral imaging, also known as holoscopic imaging, appears to be a promising approach for glassless 3D. This paper presents the general concepts of integral imaging and lenticular lenses, which are used in the image acquisition and displaying step. Special attention is devoted to the analysis of 3D holoscopic video compression considering its intrinsic nature of having a high cross-correlation between the different micro-images, building the full integral image. Experimental results using multiview video coding (MVC) for 3D holoscopic video will show the superior performance of this approach in comparison to traditional 2D compression approaches.
