Depth of field in light field rendering

چکیده
This paper focuses on the sampling problem in light field rendering (LFR) that is a fundamental approach to image based rendering. Quality of LFR depends on a light ray database generated from pre-acquired images, since image synthesis is a process of gathering appropriate light ray data from the database. For improving the quality, interpolation of light ray data is effective. It is based on an assumption that scene objects are placed on a plane called “focal plane.” According to the depth of the focal plane (distance between cameras and focal plane), focus-like effect would appear on the synthesized images. In this paper, we formulate the depth of field in light field rendering to address the range of depth where scene objects are rendered in focus. In our theory, the plenoptic sampling theory is generalized to compare with some other related works. Our representation is intuitive and useful for quantitative analysis of LFR.

An Optical Analysis of Light Field Rendering
Light field rendering has been proposed to render novel images from a collection of captured images without explicit geometry information. In this report, we present an optical analysis of light field rendering. In particular, a light field rendering system can be considered as a virtual imaging system with a discrete synthetic aperture (e.g., [10]. We define the key elements of the virtual ima...

This thesis builds on previous research in the broad area of image-based rendering and light field rendering in particular. The images synthesized using light field rendering exhibit aliasing artifacts when the light field is under-sampled. Under-sampling in light field rendering is necessary as otherwise, the size of the data-set increases dramatically, thus creating problems in data storage a...
