Abstract

See full text

A method for acquiring, generating, and/or outputting image data comprises (i) acquiring light field data representative of a scene, (ii) acquiring configuration data representative of how light rays optically propagate through a device, (iii) generating image data using the light field data and the configuration data, wherein the image data includes a focus depth different from that of the light field data, (iv) generating an electronic data file including the image data, the light field data, and the configuration data, and (v) outputting the electronic data file. In one aspect, a light field acquisition device comprises optics, a light field sensor, and processing circuitry to: (i) determine configuration data representative of how light rays optically propagate through the optics, and (ii) generate the electronic data file, wherein the electronic data file includes image data, light field data representative of a light field from the scene, and configuration data.
