Abstract
Recently, the JPEG standardization committee created an initiative called JPEG Pleno.
“Pleno” is a reference to “plenoptic,” a mathematical representation that not only provides information about any point within a scene but also about how it changes when observed from different positions. “Pleno” is also the Latin word for “complete,” a reference to the JPEG committee’s desire for future imaging to provide a more complete description of scenes, well beyond what’s possible today. Here, we discuss the rationale behind the vision for the JPEG Pleno initiative and describe how it can potentially reinvent the future of imaging.
