Being essentially different from traditional two-dimensional photography, light field photography is capable of recording light rays traveling in different directions in space, Thus it can acquire richer four-dimensional information compared to the traditional photography. However, there are still many problems in this emerging field. One of the most serious problems is resolution reduction. Take the commercially available Lytro light field camera as an example. Although the sensor of a Lytro camera is composed of 11 million pixels, the resolution of the final rendered image is merely 1 million. In other words, over 90% of the values recorded by the sensor pixels traded off for angular information. Consequently, although it has more sensor pixels than the camera embedded in smart phones and tablets, the rendered image quality is still much worse than these devices in terms of resolution. If one sacrifices angular information for more spatial resolution, the rendered images suffer the step-edge artifact caused by insufficient angular samples. Therefore, how to strike a balance between the angular information and the spatial resolution is an inevitable problem. In this research plan, we try to solve problems that are not only of academic value, but also essential to make light field photography technique more practical. We propose a three-year research project that contains the following important parts: (1) Design super-resolution technique for four-dimensional discrete light field data, (2) Develop proper anti-aliasing algorithms to solve the step-edge artifact caused by insufficient angular samples, (3) Investigate depth-from-light-field methods to compute the geometric properties of the scene, and (4) Establish a theoretical foundation for optimal trade-off between angular information and spatial resolution under various conditions that may encountered in practice.計算攝影學光場相機相機陣列超解像computational photographylight field cameracamera arraysuper resolution高品質光場渲染
