    Abstract

    The paper proposes a method for lossless compression of sub-aperture image stacks obtained by rectifying light-field images captured by a plenoptic camera. We exploit the similarities between two subaperture images using a predictive coding algorithm, where the current view is predicted from one reference view. Context modeling is the main technique used to reduce the image file size. A suitable image segmentation and a template context are used by the context tree algorithm for encoding up to the smallest detail in each subaperture image. Entropy coding is configured by a residual analysis module. The results show improved performance compared to the state-of-the-art encoders.
