Video and image compression based on position of the image generating device

摘要

An apparatus, computer readable medium, and method of compressing images generated on an image generating device, the method including responsive to a generated image and position and orientation data associated with an image generating device which generated the image, selecting a previously generated image having a similar position and a similar orientation as the generated image; and if a comparison between the selected previously generated image and the generated image indicates the difference between one of the previously generated images and the generated image is less than a threshold difference, then compressing the generated image using the previously generated image. The method may include generating the generated image from light incident to the image generating device, and generating the position and orientation associated with the image generating device.

1. A method of decompressing images, the method comprising:
retrieving a next image; if the next image is a position orientation compressed image, then retrieving a reference image used to compress the next image, and replacing the next image with the reference image, wherein the position orientation compressed image is an image compressed using a previous image having similar position and orientation; and displaying the next image.
