Apparatus and method for generating data representing a pixel beam

摘要

There are several types of planar optic devices that have their own proprietary file format. Currently, there is no standard to support the acquisition and transmission of multidimensional information on a complete overview of the different parameters upon which the light-field depends. Thus, the acquired light-field data for different cameras has various formats. Thus, the concept of a pixel beam is introduced which represents the volume occupied by a set of rays in the object space of the camera's optical system. The method according to the invention makes it possible to provide data representing a collection of pixel beams describing an agnostic first optical system since these data are obtained by imaging a collection of pixel beams through a second optical system to be. This data, representing a collection of pixel beams, enables the generation of parameterized output images from its post-processing.
