Preprocessing of Depth and Color Information for Layered Depth Image Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
The layered depth image (LDI) is a popular approach to represent three-dimensional objects with complex geometry for image-based rendering (IBR). LDI contains several attribute values together with multiple layers at each pixel location. In this paper, we propose an efficient preprocessing algorithm to compress depth and color information of LDI. Considering each depth value as a point in the two-dimensional space, we compute the minimum distance between a straight line passing through the previous two values and the current depth value. Finally, the current attribute value is replaced by the minimum distance. The proposed algorithm reduces the variance of the depth information; therefore, it improves the transform and coding efficiency.

Flexibility of woven fabric structure has caused many errors in yarn location detection using customary methods of image processing. On this line, proposing an adaptive method with fabric image properties is concentrated to extract its parameters. In this regards, using meta-heuristic algorithms seems applicable to correspond extraction algorithm of structural parameters to the image conditions...
متن کاملCompression of the Layered Depth Image
A layered depth image (LDI) is a new popular representation and rendering method for objects with complex geometries. Similar to a two-dimensional (2-D) image, the LDI consists of an array of pixels. However, unlike the 2-D image, an LDI pixel has depth information, and there are multiple layers at a pixel location. We develop a novel LDI compression algorithm that handles the multiple layers a...
متن کاملObject Shape Approximation & Contour Adaptive Depth Image Coding for Virtual View Synthesis
A depth image provides partial geometric information of a 3D scene, namely the shapes of physical objects as observed from a particular viewpoint. This information is important when synthesizing images of different virtual camera viewpoints via depth-image-based rendering (DIBR). It has been shown that depth images can be efficiently coded using contour-adaptive codecs that preserve edge sharpn...

In this paper, we propose a new view synthesis technique for coding of multi-view color and depth data in arbitrary camera arrangements. We treat each camera position as a 3-D point in world coordinates and build clusters of those vertices. Color and depth data within a cluster are gathered into one camera position using a hierarchical representation based on the concept of layered depth image ...

In this paper a new coding method for multiview depth video is presented. Considering the smooth structure and sharp edges of depth maps, a segmentation based approach is proposed. This allows further preserving the depth contours thus introducing fewer artifacts in the depth perception of the video. To reduce the cost associated with partition coding, an estimation of the depth partition is bu...
