Abstract

See full text

Motion blur may be applied to a light-field image. The light-field image may be captured with a light-field camera having a main lens, an image sensor, and a plurality of microlenses positioned between the main lens and the image sensor. The light-field image may have a plurality of lenslet images, each of which corresponds to one microlens of the microlens array. The light-field image may be used to generate a mosaic of subaperture images, each of which has pixels from the same location on each of the lenslet images. Motion vectors may be computed to indicate motion occurring within at least a primary subaperture image of the mosaic. The motion vectors may be used to carry out shutter reconstruction of the mosaic to generate a mosaic of blurred subaperture images, which may then be used to generate a motion-blurred light-field image.
