This proposal is for research into compression of still and moving images for multiple-view three-dimensional displays. Such displays provide a three-dimensional picture which can be viewed without the need for any special glasses or other headgear. This autostereo display technology uses multiple images taken from multiple view-points to produce a single 3D picture; these multiple images are thus very similar in content. This research will investigate and analyse compression methods which utilise this similarity to achieve higher compression ratios than possible with nave two-dimensional coding. There will be an emphasis on finding techniques which are amenable to implementation in hardware. There is an increasing need for image compression techniques that can be applied to autostereoscopic images and also to time sequence of such images. In effect we are dealing with three-dimensional still images and four-dimensional time sequences, and need to ascertain how this view-point dimension can best be coded and compressed
