Claim One:
1. A method for encoding at least one current integral image representing at least one object in perspective in a scene and comprising a plurality of elemental images, said method comprising the following acts performed by an encoding device: generating a plurality of K sub-images on the basis of said plurality of elemental images; arranging said sub-images so as to form a multi-view image of said object, said views corresponding respectively to said sub-images, said arranging being carried out following a pattern selected by the encoding device among a plurality of patterns; adaptive compression of said multi-view image formed, as a function of a motion type of the object in the scene, said adaptive compression implementing the following sub-acts for a current multi-view image: prediction of each of the K current sub-images of said current multi-view image as a function respectively of K reference sub-images of a reference multi-view image previously encoded then decoded, delivering K predicted sub-images, determination of residual data, by comparing data relating to each of the K current sub-images and respectively to each of said K predicted sub-images, calculation of K motion vectors describing the motion between said K current sub-images and respectively the K reference sub-images of said reference multi-view image, and calculation of a value of a depth that said object has moved in the scene, if the motion vector calculated in relation to the current sub-image that is located at the center of the current multi-view image has a value of zero, transmission of a data signal comprising at least said residual data determined and said depth value calculated, if the motion vector calculated in relation to the current sub-image that is located at the center of the current multi-view image has a value of zero; transmission of a data signal comprising at least said residual data determined and said value of one of the K motion vectors calculated, if the K motion vectors calculated have the same value; and transmission of a data signal comprising at least said residual data determined and the respective values of the K motion vectors calculated, if at least two of the K motion vectors calculated have different values.
