Methods, apparatuses and systems may provide for a video transmitter that generates a primary bitstream based on a video signal, wherein the primary bitstream is encoded with subsampled chroma information, and detects a static condition with respect to the video signal. Additionally, a plurality of auxiliary bitstreams may be generated, in response to the static condition, based on the video signal. Each of the plurality of auxiliary bitstreams may be encoded with full resolution chroma information. In one example, a video receiver may detect that the auxiliary bitstreams are associated with the primary bitstream, decode the primary bitstream and the plurality of auxiliary bitstreams to obtain luma information and the full resolution chroma information, and multiplex the luma information with the full resolution chroma information.

Predicting a component of a current pixel belonging to a current sub-aperture image in a matrix of sub-aperture images captured by a sensor of a type I plenoptic camera can involve, first, determining a location on the sensor based on: a distance from an exit pupil of a main lens of the camera to a micro-lens array of the camera; a focal length of the main lens; a focal length of the micro-lenses of the micro-lens array; and a set of parameters of a model of the camera allowing for a derivation of a two-plane parameterization describing the field of rays corresponding to the pixels of the sensor; and, second, predicting the component based on one reference pixel belonging to a reference sub-aperture image in the matrix and located on the sensor in a neighborhood of the location.
