LIGHT-FIELD CAMERA

摘要

The invention provides a light-field camera for capturing multiple views of a scene, the multiple views representing samples of a light-field, the light-field camera comprises:
a primary camera configured for capturing a primary digital two-dimensional image of the scene;
a two-dimensional camera array comprising a plurality of secondary cameras, wherein each of the secondary cameras is configured for capturing a secondary digital two-dimensional image of the scene in order to produce at least one set of secondary digital two-dimensional images of the scene;
a semitransparent mirror arranged in such way that an incident light beam originating from the scene is split up in a first partial light beam, which is directed to the primary camera, and a second partial light beam, which is directed to the camera array; and
a processing unit configured for receiving the primary digital two-dimensional image and the at least one set of secondary digital two-dimensional images and configured for computing depth information for the primary digital two-dimensional image or a digital two-dimensional image corresponding to the primary digital two-dimensional image based on the set of secondary digital two-dimensional images.
