Smart rebinning for the compression of concentric mosaic
نویسندگان
چکیده
The concentric mosaic offers a quick solution to construct a virtual copy of a real environment, and to navigate in that virtual environment. However, the huge amount of data associated with the concentric mosaic is a heavy burden for its application. A 3D wavelet based compressor has been proposed in the previous work to compress the concentric mosaic. In this paper, we greatly improve the compression efficiency of the 3D wavelet coder by a data rearrangement mechanism called “smart rebinning”. The proposed scheme first aligns the concentric mosaic image shots along the horizontal direction and then rebins the shots into multi-perspective panoramas. Smart rebinning effectively enhances the correlation in the 3D data volume, translating the data into a representation that is more suitable for 3D wavelet compression. Experimental results show that the performance of the 3D wavelet coder is improved by an average of 4.3dB with the use of the smart rebinning. The proposed coder outperforms MPEG-2 coding of the concentric mosaic by an average of 3.7dB.

Compression of Concentric Mosaic with Rebinning of Slits (ross)
Concentric mosaic offers a quick solution for the construction and navigation of a virtual environment. However, the associated huge amount of data presents a heavy burden for its application. In this paper, we propose the rebinning of slits (ROSS) approach for the compression of concentric mosaic. The proposed scheme decorrelates the 3D concentric mosaic data set by rebinning the vertical slit...
متن کاملVirtual Reality Using the Concentric Mosaic: Construction, Rendering and Data Compression
This paper proposes a new image based rendering technique called concentric mosaic for virtual reality applications. It is constructed by capturing vertical slit images when a camera is moving around a set of concentric circles. Concentric mosaic allows the user to move freely in a circular region and observe significant parallax and lighting changes without recovering the geometric and photome...
متن کاملCompression of Concentric Mosaic Scenery with Alignment and 3D Wavelet Transform
As a new scene representation scheme, the concentric mosaic offers a quick way to capture and model a realistic 3D environment. This is achieved by shooting a lot of photos of the scene. Novel views can be rendered by patching vertical slits of the captured shots. The data amount in the concentric mosaic is huge. In this work, we compress the concentric mosaic image array with a 3D wavelet sche...
متن کامل3-D wavelet compression and progressive inverse wavelet synthesis rendering of concentric mosaic
Using an array of photo shots, the concentric mosaic offers a quick way to capture and model a realistic three-dimensional (3-D) environment. We compress the concentric mosaic image array with a 3-D wavelet transform and coding scheme. Our compression algorithm and bitstream syntax are designed to ensure that a local view rendering of the environment requires only a partial bitstream, thereby e...
متن کاملInteractive browsing of 3D environment over the Internet
In this paper, we describe a system for wandering in a realistic environment over the Internet. The environment is captured by the concentric mosaic, compressed via the reference block coder (RBC), and accessed and delivered over the Internet through the virtual media (Vmedia) access protocol. Capturing the environment through the concentric mosaic is easy. We mount a camera at the end of a lev...
