A Novel Predictive Coding Algorithm For 3-D Image Compression

We propose two predictive coding algorithms for 3-D stereo image compression which make use of inter-frame and intra-frame correlation present in stereo image pairs. The predictive coding is applied to one of the two frames associated with each stereo image pair on top of DCT-quantization based compression technology to achieve extra data compression. The technology can also be applied in addition to any other compression technology such as, wavelets based, fractal based, etc. This novel coding technique eliminates the necessity of using overhead bits in reconstructing the predicted image.
