Efficient Data Compression for Image-based Modeling and Rendering
(T. T. Wong)

Real-time rendering of arbitrarily complex scene has long been an unsolved problem in traditional computer graphics. A new stream of research focuses on generating images from prerecorded images, known as image-based rendering (IBR). IBR is likely to provide one solution to the mentioned real-time rendering problem. However, the huge data storage requirement of IBR imposes another problem. In this project, we will design and implement compression techniques that are especially suitable for IBR by exploring the coherence in the image data.
