MULTI-PLANE IMAGE COMPRESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17926532 titled 'MULTI-PLANE IMAGE COMPRESSION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and systems for compressing multi-plane images (MPI).

  • MPI compression techniques are disclosed in the patent application.
  • The techniques involve accessing an input multiplane image stack from a source camera viewpoint.
  • The input stack includes texture images and corresponding alpha images representing transparency.
  • The disclosed apparatus includes a compressed image encoder to convert the texture images or alpha images into a single composite image.
  • The resulting compressed multiplane image stack is generated.
  • The interface is used to output the compressed multiplane image stack.


Original Abstract Submitted

Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement multi-plane image (MPI) compression are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein include an interface to access an input multiplane image stack corresponding to a source camera viewpoint, the input multiplane image stack including a plurality of texture images and a corresponding plurality of alpha images, ones of the alpha images including pixel values representative of transparency of corresponding pixels in respective ones of the texture images. Disclosed example apparatus also include a compressed image encoder to at least one of (i) convert the plurality of texture images to a single composite texture image to generate a compressed multiplane image stack, or (ii) convert the plurality of alpha images to a single composite alpha image to generate the compressed multiplane image stack. In some disclosed examples, the interface is to output the compressed multiplane image stack.
