of indoor depth images. It uses a linear fractional model to capture non-linearity of depth values in the planar regions of the output images of Kinect-like sensors. A blockbased compression framework based on planelet approximation is then presented, which...

Depth images are frequently used in robotic and 3D vision for different purposes like mapping or object recognition. Yet recently, they are encountered in many other areas such as free viewpoint and 3D television. Their innate redundancy especially...

Depth image-based rendering techniques for

multiview applications have been recently introduced for

efficient view generation at arbitrary camera positions. The

rate control in an encoder has thus to consider both texture...
