Claim 6:
7. An electronic device for encoding a matrix of sub-aperture images obtained from data acquired by a plenoptic camera, the electronic device comprising a processor and at least one memory unit coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
obtain at least one reference image view from a combination of sub-aperture images from the matrix of sub-aperture images, wherein the processor is further configured to determine several reference image views by using an invertible mixing matrix for combining image views from the matrix;
replace one of the sub-aperture images in the matrix of sub-aperture images by the at least one reference image view; and
encode sub-aperture images based on the several reference image views.
