Light Fields in Computational Photography
CVPR 2011
Overview
Capture light rays. Explore viewpoints, focus, and time.
Light fields describe both the position and direction of light rays, enabling changes in viewpoint and focus after capture. The tutorial materials cover light-field capture and applications, including mirror- and refraction-based imaging, axial-cone models, rendering, and reconstruction.
