Abstract

See full text

A method for predictive encoding of a depth map, includes the steps of receiving a depth map; dividing the depth map to blocks; performing quad-tree decomposition of the depth map to sub-blocks; approximating each of the sub-blocks by a plane, wherein the plane is associated with three plane points; and determining an order of coding of the sub-blocks; and providing an encoded depth map in a form of a set of planes defined by parameters. The method includes, while encoding consecutive sub-blocks: calculating predictors for the plane points of the currently-encoded sub-block (C); calculating differences between the actual values of the plane points and the values of the corresponding predictors; and providing the parameters of the plane for the currently-encoded sub-block (C) in form of the differences.
