Compression, first tests looking good!

Tuesday 24 November, 2009

256 depth maps, 32 samples per pixel.

Red areas indicate difference with the uncompressed version. In general I have less noise/self-shadowing, but some trivial points on the bunny are now miscalculated. It might have something to do with a special case where my current implementation of the compression algorithm isn’t a 100% correct.

Before I’m going any higher in my number of depth maps (read: 64k and up), the throughput of my compression pipeline should increase. For the record, the implementation of Tobias et al. requires only a couple of seconds to compress 1024 depth maps. Mine requires around one hour .
