Hybrid Learning-based and HEVC-based Coding of Light Fields
Abstract
Light fields have additional storage requirements compared to conventional image and video signals, and demand therefore an efficient representation. In order to improve coding efficiency, in this work we propose a hybrid coding scheme which combines a learning-based compression approach with a traditional video coding scheme. Their integration offers great gains at low/mid bitrates thanks to the efficient representation of the learning-based approach and is competitive at high bitrates compared to standard tools thanks to the encoding of the residual signal. The proposed approach achieves on average 38% and 31% BD rate saving compared to HEVC and JPEG Pleno transform-based codec, respectively.
