Depth of Field in Plenoptic Cameras
نویسندگان
چکیده
Certain new algorithms used by plenoptic cameras require focused microlens images. The range of applicability of these algorithms therefore depends on the depth of field of the relay system comprising the plenoptic camera. We analyze the relationships and tradeoffs between camera parameters and depth of field and characterize conditions for optimal refocusing, stereo, and 3D imaging.

Single lens 3D-camera with extended depth-of-field
Placing a micro lens array in front of an image sensor transforms a normal camera into a single lens 3D camera, which also allows the user to change the focus and the point of view after a picture has been taken. While the concept of such plenoptic cameras is known since 1908, only recently the increased computing power of low-cost hardware and the advances in micro lens array production, have ...
متن کاملCalibration of Plenoptic 2.0 Cameras and use in 3DPTV Investigations
Plenoptic 1.0 cameras have already been investigated as a means for performing 3DPIV. Plenoptic 2.0 cameras have an enhanced in-plane resolution, but are limited to less dense particle fields by their depth-detection method, and are thus less appropriate for 3DPIV. A technique more suited to less dense particle fields is 3DPTV. Time-resolved 3DPTV will be possible due to the high frame rate ava...
متن کاملOn the Calibration of Focused Plenoptic Cameras
Plenoptic cameras provide a robust way to capture 3D information with a single shot. This is accomplished by encoding the direction of the incoming rays with a microlens array (MLA) in front of the camera sensor. In the focused plenoptic camera, a MLA acts like multiple small cameras that capture the virtual scene on the focus plane of a main lens from slightly different angles, which enables a...
متن کاملFull-Resolution Depth Map Estimation from an Aliased Plenoptic Light Field
In this paper we show how to obtain full-resolution depth maps from a single image obtained from a plenoptic camera. Previous work showed that the estimation of a low-resolution depth map with a plenoptic camera differs substantially from that of a camera array and, in particular, requires appropriate depth-varying antialiasing filtering. In this paper we show a quite striking result: One can i...
متن کاملCalibration and Accuracy Analysis of a Focused Plenoptic Camera
In this article we introduce new methods for the calibration of depth images from focused plenoptic cameras and validate the results. We start with a brief description of the concept of a focused plenoptic camera and how from the recorded raw image a depth map can be estimated. For this camera, an analytical expression of the depth accuracy is derived for the first time. In the main part of the...
