Abstract:

Plenoptic camera is a new imaging device that can acquire 3-D content. In this camera, through a microlens array (MLA), real-world is captured from multiple angles. The MLA is placed next to the image sensing sensor, and the recorded image is called Lenslet (LL) image. Since a LL image consists of light rays from different angles, a LL image shall contain the 3-D information of the scene. Hence, it can be converted to multiview (MV) images that can be captured by an array of camera. There is an existing conversion tool for this process, namely RLC (Reference Lenslet Conversion).

This project aims to develop a tool that can track and localize the position of a moving plenoptic camera, and has the following steps:

1. Study the RLC conversion tool and understand the details.
2. Capture data set using moving plenoptic camera.
3. Use existing tools in RLC and create trajectory of a moving plenoptic camera in 3-D space.
