Methods, systems, and media for generating compressed images

A system for generating compressed images, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor that is configured to:
• identify a multi-plane image, MPI, that represents a three-dimensional image, wherein the MPI comprises a plurality of fronto-parallel planes;
• split the MPI into a plurality of sub-volumes, wherein each sub-volume in the plurality of sub-volumes includes a subset of the plurality of fronto-parallel planes;
• calculate, for each sub-volume of the MPI, a depthmap;
• convert each depthmap to a mesh, wherein each mesh corresponds to a layer of a plurality of layers associated with a multi-depth image, MDI, to be rendered;
• calculate, for each layer of the plurality of layers, an image;
• and
• store the meshes corresponding to the plurality of layers of the MDI and the images corresponding to the plurality of layers of the MDI as the MDI.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for generating compressed images, the method comprising:

• identifying a multi-plane image, MPI, that represents a three-dimensional image, wherein the MPI comprises a plurality of fronto-parallel planes;
• splitting the MPI into a plurality of sub-volumes, wherein each sub-volume in the plurality of sub-volumes includes a subset of the plurality of fronto-parallel planes;
• calculating, for each sub-volume of the MPI, a depthmap;
• converting each depthmap to a mesh, wherein each mesh corresponds to a layer of a plurality of layers associated with a multi-depth image, MDI, to be rendered calculating, for each layer of the plurality of layers, an image;
• and
• storing the meshes corresponding to the plurality of layers of the MDI and the images corresponding to the plurality of layers of the MDI as the MDI.
