Analysis of Synthetic Light Field Data Compression Performances

Light field images contain information on directional lighting distribution. This means that a light field image is composed of multiple views of the same subject. Synthetic light field data is obtained using 3D rendering software, so that no equipment is. An architecture for quality evaluation of compressed synthetic light field images is proposed in this paper. Performances of two state-of-the-art video encoders (x265 and VP9) are evaluated and the obtained results are discussed.
