A Light Field camera captures the image of 3D world in a more immersive way than conventional 2D imaging. The light rays are recorded not only when they reach and integrate at the camera sensor plane, but also when they propagate across the imaging system. This naturally embeds the 3D spatial information of he scene contents into the final output, and enables a variety of amazing and useful applications that is beyond the limits of traditional imaging.
I have been working on a number of topics and applications that are related to light field imaging. This page gives a brief overlook of these areas.
- Light Field Acquisition and Reconstruction
- Light Field Data Compression
- Light Field Depth Esitmation
- Light Field View Synthesis
- Novel Applications
- Light Field Rain Removal
- Reflection Removal based on a Single LF Capture
