Machine learning method for light field refocusing
Light field imaging introduced the capability to refocus an image after capturing. Currently there are two popular methods for refocusing, shift-and-sum and Fourier slice methods. Neither of these two methods can refocus the light field in real-time without any pre-processing. In this paper we introduce a machine learning based refocusing technique that is capable of extracting 16 refocused images with refocusing parameters of \alpha=0.125,0.250,0.375,...,2.0 in real-time. We have trained our network, which is called RefNet, in two experiments. Once using the Fourier slice method as the training -- i.e., "ground truth" -- data and another using the shift-and-sum method as the training data. We showed that in both cases, not only is the RefNet method at least 134x faster than previous approaches, but also the color prediction of RefNet is superior to both Fourier slice and shift-and-sum methods while having similar depth of field and focus distance performance.

A learning-based view extrapolation method for axial super-resolution
Axial light field resolution refers to the ability to distinguish features at different depths by refocusing. The axial refocusing precision corresponds to the minimum distance in the axial direction between two distingu…
