Approaches to 3-D Video Compression

摘要

Three-dimensional (3-D) video provides an immersing experience for users. In recent years, many attempts have been made to capture the complex surface shape and highly detailed texture of real-world moving objects, which results in a huge amount of data. In this paper, we discuss compression issues for 3-D video. We introduce 3-D video, which is classified into two categories. Then we survey compression methods that have been investigated for each category. We present our compression methods for temporally varying mesh sequences. In addition, we show comparison results for our algorithm with respect to previous work.
