The image group (12) is compared to each reference image distribution (D1, D2, . . . , Dm) of a set of predefined reference image distributions (D1, D2, . . . , Dm,) to select an optimal image distribution (Dopt), wherein a reference image distribution (D1, D2, . . . , Dm) comprises a predefined arrangement of I-images and P-images of the light field data structure. Each image (F1, F2, . . . , Fn) of the plurality of images (F1, F2, . . . , Fn) of the light field data structure is subsequently designated to be either an I-image or a P-image according to the selected image distribution (Dopt).
