Light field image processing : overview and research issues

Abstract

Light field (LF) imaging first appeared in the computer graphics community with the goal of photorealistic 3D rendering [1]. Motivated by a variety of potential applications in various domains (e.g., computational photography, augmented reality, light field microscopy, medical imaging, 3D robotic, particle image velocimetry), imaging from real light fields has recently gained in popularity, both at the research and industrial level.
