原文摘要
Stereo image compression is essential for a wide range of 3D vision. Recent methods have demonstrated strong capabilities in eliminating inter-view redundancy and enabling compact entropy coding via spatial-domain stereo transformation and advanced autoregressive entropy models. However, these approaches often suffer from high-frequency information loss and incur considerable coding latency. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel frequency stereo context transfer (FSCT) module. Unlike spatial-domain methods, the FSCT module separately captures inter-view redundancy in high- and low-frequency components and dynamically balances their contributions to preserve reconstruction quality. In addition, we replace the conventional autoregressive framework with a checkerboard strategy and integrate the FSCT module to model inter-view priors, enabling faster and more efficient entropy coding. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art rate-distortion performance among existing stereo image compression approaches, while also attaining the lowest coding latency.
