Abstract

A method for encoding a plenoptic image divided into blocks is disclosed. The method comprises: —encoding (S120) a block in a central region of the plenoptic image, called central block, without spatial prediction; and —predictively encoding (S130) blocks immediately surrounding said central block by spatially interleaving spatial unidirectional prediction and spatial bi-directional prediction.
