Light field image processing: an overview

Light field imaging has emerged as a technology allowing to capture richer visual information from our world. As opposed to traditional photography, which captures a 2D projection of the light in the scene integrating the angular domain, light fields collect radiance from rays in all directions, demultiplexing the angular information lost in conventional photography. On the one hand, this higher dimensional representation of visual data offers powerful capabilities for scene understanding, and substantially improves the performance of traditional computer vision problems such as depth sensing, post-capture refocusing, segmentation, video stabilization, material classification, etc. On the other hand, the high-dimensionality of light fields also brings up new challenges in terms of data capture, data compression, content editing, and display. Taking these two elements together, research in light field image processing has become increasingly popular in the computer vision, computer graphics, and signal processing communities. In this paper, we present a comprehensive overview and discussion of research in this field over the past 20 years. We focus on all aspects of light field image processing, including basic light field representation and theory, acquisition, super-resolution, depth estimation, compression, editing, processing algorithms for light field display, and computer vision applications of light field data

Fabrication of graphene oxide-modified self-healing microcapsules for Cardanol-based epoxy anti-corrosion coatings

In this paper, graphene oxide (GO) modified microcapsules have been developed for use in self-healing Cardanol-based epoxy anti-corrosion coatings on steel substrates. The microcapsules had a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) shell, covered with aminated GO flakes and contained either of the two complementary healing agents mixed with nanosized GO flakes. One set of capsules contained epoxidized nanosized GO and Cardanol-based epoxy resin, while the other contained aminated nanosized GO and Cardanol-based amine curing agent. The microcapsules had a narrow size distribution with a peak value of 4 μm. The Cardanol-based coatings containing various fractions of up to 20 wt% microcapsules in their stoichiometric ratio showed excellent anti-corrosion and self-healing properties. FT-IR, XPS, AFM, and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the size and chemical composition of the GO. Optical microscopy and SEM were used for morphological characterization. Double cantilever test upon bulk samples showed an excellent load transfer across the fracture plane after only 1 day curing at room temperature. The anti-corrosion properties of the Cardanol-based coating containing the two-component microcapsules were tested using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It was found that, after 60-day immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, the low-frequency impedance modulus |Z|0.01Hz of the Cardanol-based coating containing GO-modified microcapsules was three orders of magnitude higher than that of the systems with capsules without GO. After scratching the coating containing 20 wt% GO-modified microcapsules and exposing it to an aqueous 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, the |Z|0.01Hz of the Cardanol-based coating returned over a period of 7 days to the original value.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work publicNovel Aerospace Material
