Joint Blind Motion Deblurring and Depth Estimation of Light Field
Removing camera motion blur from a single light field is a challenging task
since it is highly ill-posed inverse problem. The problem becomes even worse
when blur kernel varies spatially due to scene depth variation and high-order
camera motion. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to estimate all blur
model variables jointly, including latent sub-aperture image, camera motion,
and scene depth from the blurred 4D light field. Exploiting multi-view nature
of a light field relieves the inverse property of the optimization by utilizing
strong depth cues and multi-view blur observation. The proposed joint
estimation achieves high quality light field deblurring and depth estimation
simultaneously under arbitrary 6-DOF camera motion and unconstrained scene
depth. Intensive experiment on real and synthetic blurred light field confirms
that the proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art light field
deblurring and depth estimation methods
Variational Disparity Estimation Framework for Plenoptic Image
This paper presents a computational framework for accurately estimating the
disparity map of plenoptic images. The proposed framework is based on the
variational principle and provides intrinsic sub-pixel precision. The
light-field motion tensor introduced in the framework allows us to combine
advanced robust data terms as well as provides explicit treatments for
different color channels. A warping strategy is embedded in our framework for
tackling the large displacement problem. We also show that by applying a simple
regularization term and a guided median filtering, the accuracy of displacement
field at occluded area could be greatly enhanced. We demonstrate the excellent
performance of the proposed framework by intensive comparisons with the Lytro
software and contemporary approaches on both synthetic and real-world datasets
