AI summary

Three-dimensional sensing data is transferred efficiently by applying compressed sensing using dictionary learning. Conventional image-based lossy compression improves a feature according to which power is concentrated on low-frequency components and deterioration of three-dimensional information increases. By changing the decimation rates for the depth information and the color information and using a dictionary vector created from the other restoration result for restoration, the original result is reconstructed using a small data volume.
