An Autostereoscopic 3 0 viewing .system that operates on the principles of Integral PhotographyIP provides a imique sen.se of depth. full parallax and multi-view functionality. The inherent redundancy of these images results into great amounts of data that should be efficiently coded for transmission or storage operations. In this communication a method for efficient coding of such images is presented, targeting to 3 0 imaging but video applications. The method is based on common techniques broadly used in image compression and properly adjusted in order to take advantage of the spatial redundancies of IP images. The generalig and flexibility of the proposed approach along with the stability f a r a wide range of bit rates constitutes the basic characteristics of the technique. The proposed technique can be easily realized in sofmare or hardn'are for computer based or standalone applications.
