Improving Spatial Resolution in Real-time for Ultra-thin Light Field Cameras

Recent progress on multi-domain optimization for ultra-thin cameras

Conventional imaging systems can suffer from significant aliasing and/or blur distortions when the detector array in the focal plane under-samples the image. We propose to address this problem by engineering the optical PSF of the imaging system followed by electronic post-processing to minimize the overall distortions. The optical PSF of the candidate imaging system is modified by placing a ph...

Spatial Light Modulators: Processing Light in Real Time

A Real-Time Distributed Light Field Camera

We present the design and implementation of a real-time, distributed light field camera. Our system allows multiple viewers to navigate virtual cameras in a dynamically changing light field that is captured in real-time. Our light field camera consists of 64 commodity video cameras that are connected to off-the-shelf computers. We employ a distributed rendering algorithm that allows us to overc...

Real-time 3D light field transmission

Although capturing and displaying stereo 3D content is now commonplace, information-rich light-field video content capture, transmission and display are much more challenging, resulting in at least one order of magnitude increase in complexity even in the simplest cases. We present an end-to-end system capable of capturing and real-time displaying of high-quality light-field video content on va...

Wearable Cameras for Real-Time Activity Annotation

Google Glass has potential to be a real-time data capture and annotation tool. With professional sports as a use-case, we present a platform which helps a football coach capture and annotate interesting events using Google Glass. In our implementation, an interesting event is indicated by a predefined hand gesture or motion, and our platform can automatically detect these gestures in a video wi...
