6 Conclusions

A review of 3D Holoscopic imaging technology is provided from the point of
view of 3D content capture, computer generation, depth computation and 3D con-
tent coding. 3D Holoscopic imaging technology is receiving a lot of interest in re-
cent years and is a candidate for consideration for several applications including
3D TV in terms of human factors, cost of conversion of studios, production of
content, decoders and current cost of display technology. A 3D discrete wavelet
based compression scheme is discussed in more details to show that dedicated al-
gorithms are required to take full advantage of the data structure inherent in 3D
holoscopic images and hence achieve the best possible performance.
