Light Field imaging systems allow capturing a larger amount of information of a scene with respect to conventional cameras. In fact, light field cameras record, in a single shot, multiple instances of the same scene taken from slightly different points of view. This enables new applications, like digital refocusing and free-viewpoint content creation. The main drawback of this hardware is in the trade-off between spatial and angular resolution, which has an impact on the depth of field of the refocused images. In this paper we propose a technique for increasing the depth of field by means of mul-tifocus fusion and, at the same time, for enhancing the quality of the content. The available views are processed in the Laguerre Gauss transform domain to perform a selective enhancement that sharpens the selected depth layer and blurs the others. The performed experiments prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Abstract

Light Field imaging systems allow capturing a larger amount of information of a scene with respect to conventional cameras. In fact, light field cameras record, in a single shot, multiple instances of the same scene taken from slightly different points of view. This enables new applications, like digital refocusing and free-viewpoint content creation. The main drawback of this hardware is in the trade-off between spatial and angular resolution, which has an impact on the depth of field of the refocused images. In this paper we propose a technique for increasing the depth of field by means of mul-tifocus fusion and, at the same time, for enhancing the quality of the content. The available views are processed in the Laguerre Gauss transform domain to perform a selective enhancement that sharpens the selected depth layer and blurs the others. The performed experiments prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
