A Method of H.264-Based Still Stereoscopic Pictures Compression

Still stereoscopic pictures compression is an important part of auto-stereoscopic techniques. H.264 is an advanced video compression standard, absorbing the advantages of the previous standards. In this paper, still stereoscopic pictures compression is studied, and H.264 coding tools adopted to achieve this compression are discussed. The still stereoscopic pictures compression schemes based on H.264, MPEG-2 and JPEG are compared by the experiments. The experimental results show that with the H.264 compression scheme presented by this paper, high compression rate can be achieved, high quality compressed multi stereo pairs can be acquired and the exact binocular disparities between multi stereo pairs are well preserved
