Data compression for light-field rendering

Data compression for light-field rendering

Two light-field compression schemes are presented. The codecs are compared with regard to compression efficiency and rendering performance. The first proposed coder is based on video-compression techniques that have been modified to code the four-dimensional light-field data structure efficiently. The second coder relies entirely on disparity-compensated image prediction, establishing a hierarc...

Light Field Rendering for Games

This paper studies the problem of integrating high-quality light field rendering into state-of-the-art real-time computer games. We present a complete production pipeline for generation of light fields from arbitrary complex 3D content using commercial 3D modeling software commonly used in the gaming industry. We show how recent advances in light field rendering techniques can be used to compos...

Scan Light Field Rendering

In this paper we present a new variant of the light field representation that supports improved image reconstruction by accommodating sparse correspondence information. This places our representation somewhere between a pure, two-plane parameterized, light field and a lumigraph representation, with its continuous geometric proxy. Our approach factors the rays of a light field into one of two se...
