Abstract
An image dataset is compressed by combining depth values from pixel depth arrays, wherein combining criteria are based on object data and/or depth variations of depth values in the first pixel image value array and generating a modified image dataset wherein a first pixel image value array represented in a received image dataset by the first number of image value array samples is in turn represented in the modified image dataset by a second number of compressed image value array samples with the second number being less than or equal to the first number.
