A Study on the Compression Efficiency of a Digital Hologram Video using Domain Transforms and H.265/HEVC

Abstract

Recently, many researches on digital holograms, which retain almost perfect 3 dimensional image information, have been performed actively that it seems for them to be serviced soon. Accordingly, this paper proposes a data compression technique for a digital hologram video for this service. It uses H.265/HEVC, the most recent international 2 dimensional video compression standard, for which we consider various domain transform methods to increase the correlation among the pixels in a digital hologram. Also we consider the various parameters on H.265/HEVC. The purpose of this paper is to find empirically the optimal condition for the domain transform method, the size of transform unit, and the H.265/HEVC parameters. The proposed method satisfying the optimal parameter set found is compared to the existing methods to prove that ours shows better performance.
