METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MEASUREMENTS AND/OR STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE CAPTURE

摘要

A camera rig including one or more stereoscopic camera pairs and/or one or more light field cameras are described. Images are captured by the light field cameras and stereoscopic camera pairs are captured at the same time. The light field images are used to generate an environmental depth map which accurately reflects the environment in which the stereoscopic images are captured at the time of image capture. In addition to providing depth information, images captured by the light field camera or cameras is combined with or used in place of stereoscopic image data to allow viewing and/or display of portions of a scene not captured by a stereoscopic camera pair.

主权项

1. An image capture system, comprising:
a first light field camera facing in a first direction; and a first stereoscopic camera pair including at least a first camera and a second camera for capturing left and right views, respectively.
