This invention enables more efficiently storing and managing light field data. To accomplish this, when encoding N (N>1) viewpoint images captured by a light field imaging unit, an encoding apparatus calculates the average value of the values of N corresponding pixels corresponding to each other in the N viewpoint images and generates an image having the average value as the value of a pixel and focused at a predetermined focal position. The encoding apparatus generates (N?1) types of difference values used to derive the values of the corresponding pixels in the N viewpoint images from the value of the pixel of the generated image focused at the predetermined focal position. The encoding apparatus encodes the generated image and difference information formed from the (N?1) types of difference values.

Systems and methods for improving perceived image quality of an electronic display, which includes a co-located sub-pixel that controls luminance of a first color component and an offset sub-pixel that controls luminance of a second color component. A display pipeline communicatively coupled to the electronic display determines image data, which indicates target luminance of the first, the second, and a third color component at an image pixel; determines edge parameters, which indicate whether an edge is expected to be present at the offset sub-pixel, based on a difference metric between a first image pixel block around the offset sub-pixel and a second image pixel block offset from the first image pixel block; and determines offset sub-pixel image data by filtering an image pixel group around the offset sub-pixel based at least in part on the edge parameters, wherein the offset sub-pixel image data indicates target luminance of the offset sub-pixel.

An example method includes storing a sum of an unweighted first color value and an unweighted second color value for each pixel in a plurality of pixels of an image as a first channel, sub sampling, among the plurality of pixels, a difference between the first color value and the second color value as a second channel, sub sampling, among the plurality of pixels, a third color value as a third channel, and storing the first channel, the second channel, and the third channel as the compressed image. In some implementations, the original image may be split into a low frequency version and a high frequency version. The system may apply the YHB model to the high frequency version and apply a conventional model or a second variation of the YHB model to the low frequency version.
