Abstract
A method for compressing a set of images comprising a plenoptic image and at least one refocused image obtained from the plenoptic image for a given focus, by generating a set of data comprising a compressed version of the plenoptic image, some focusing parameter to build a refocused image from this plenoptic image and a compressed residual data to restore the refocused image in its plain quality. Accordingly, the set of images can be compressed in an efficient way, preserving the quality of the shoot using the focus chosen by the photographer.
