Abstract

We develop novel methods for compressing volumetric imagery that has been generated by single-platform (mobile) range sensors. We exploit the correlation structure inherent in multiple views in order to improve compression efficiency. We show that, for lossless compression, three-dimensional volumes compress more efficiently than two-dimensional (2D) images by a factor of 60%. Furthermore, our error metric for lossy compression suggests that accumulating more than nine range images in one volume before compression yields as much as a 99% improvement in compression performance over 2D compression.
