Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for reducing memory bandwidth via multiview compression/decompression. One embodiment is a compression method for a multiview rendering in a graphics pipeline. The method comprises receiving a first image and a second image for a multiview rendering. A difference is calculated between the first and second images. The method compresses the first image and the difference between the first and second images. The compressed first image and the compressed difference are stored in a memory. The compressed first image and the compressed difference are decompressed. The second image is generated by comparing the first image to the difference.
