    Abstract

    The paper proposes an image segmentation method for lossless compression of plenoptic images. Each light-field image captured by the plenoptic camera is processed to obtain a stack of subaperture images. Each subaperture image is encoded by using a gradient-base detector which classifies the image edges and designs refined contexts for an improved prediction and segmentation. The paper's main contribution is a new segmentation method which generates a preliminary segmentation, either by scaling the intensity differences or by using a quantum cut based algorithm, and merges it with an edge ranking-based segmentation. The results show around 2% improved performance compared to the state-of-the-art for a dataset of 118 plenoptic images.
