Abstract

Texture and depth images are generally used for 3D viewing with advanced displays. Because sthe characteristics of a depth image are very different from those of a texture image, an efficient compression method is required to transmit a depth image in a limited bandwidth. In this paper, a low-complexity two-step lossless depth coding (LTLDC) method using coarse lossy coding is proposed. The proposed method downsamples an original image and then coarsely compresses the downsampled image in the first step. This compressed image is upsampled, and then its residual is generated by subtracting the upsampled image from the original image. In the second step, each coding block within the residual and original images is adaptively compressed with a fast mode decision method in a lossless way, and the proposed method determines the best block based on their coding performance. Experimental results show that the proposed LTLDC method achieves a bitrate reduction of 4.35% with encoding complexity reduction of 20.38%.
