1. A method for compressing high-definition light field hogel data for transmission of the compressed high-resolution light field hogel data in a limited-bandwidth by wire or wireless transmission systems, comprising:

  • establishing a plurality of compression methods, each compression method having a light field hogel data dependent metric indicative of a light field reconstruction quality the respective compression method will provide;

    determining for each compression method, a value of the light field hogel data dependent metric for the high-definition light field hogel data to be compressed;

    selecting the compression method yielding the light field hogel data dependent metric indicative of a most favorable light field reconstruction quality;

    compressing the high-definition light field hogel data according to the compression method selected; and

    packing a compression mode and disparity values with the compressed high-definition light field hogel data, the compression mode being indicative of the compression method selected.
