Abstract:
With the advances in commercial light field cameras, light field image processing has attracted considerable attention from researchers. In this paper, we propose a novel method for generating stereoscopic images from a light field image pair with flexible control over the convergence of the virtual stereo cameras. We have developed a light field image-capturing prototype that consists of two horizontally arranged light field cameras (i.e., with their optical axes being parallel to each other). When using our proposed device for image/video capture, stereo photographers can concentrate on how to capture the desired visual experience without being frequently disturbed by having to manipulate the stereo camera parameters, i.e., the convergence angle of a stereo camera. During postprocessing, our method estimates accurate disparity maps for the light field image pair and then generates the target stereoscopic images that satisfy the desired stereo camera convergence requirements by adopting a novel view synthesis method for light field images. We have conducted extensive experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
