Abstract
We propose a
method to acquire 3D light fields using a hand-held
camera, and describe several computational
photography applications facilitated by our
approach. As our input we take an image sequence
from a camera translating along an approximately
linear path with limited camera rotations. Users can
acquire such data easily in a few seconds by moving
a hand-held camera. We include a novel approach to
resample the input into regularly sampled 3D light
fields by aligning them in the spatio-temporal
domain, and a technique for high-quality disparity
estimation from light fields. We show applications
including digital refocusing and synthetic aperture
blur, foreground removal, selective colorization,
and others.
