What is a Light Field? A 4-D data set for image-based rendering,typically parameterized as a 2-D set of images. [Levoy and Hanrahan, 1996] [Gortler et al., 1996]

Rendering a Single Novel View Garfield light field How do we perform better than intracoding?
Encoder Decoder Statistically dependent Wyner-Ziv Coding [Wyner and Ziv, 1976] Lossy compression with decoder side information
Wyner-Ziv image Key image Wyner-Ziv Coding of Light Fields At the decoder, side information for decoding Wyner-Ziv image is rendered from available key images • Better rate-distortion performance than intracoding [Zhu, Aaron, Girod, 2003] • Similar work by [Jagmohan, Sehgal, Ahuja, 2003]

Summary • Wyner-Ziv coding of light field images for random access and compression efficiency • Up to 2 dB PSNR improvement over intracoding for rendering novel views • Single representation of data set multiple representation solution [Ramanathan and Girod, MMSP 2004]
Sample Rendered View Intracoding 1.6 bpop, 33.7 dB Original Wyner-Ziv coding 1.9 bpop, 36.6 dB
