Consumer-level and high-end light-field cameras are now widely available. Recent work has demonstrated practical methods for passive depth estimation from light-field images. However, most previous approaches do not explicitly model occlusions, and therefore cannot capture sharp transitions around object boundaries. A common assumption is that a pixel exhibits photo-consistency when focused to its correct depth, i.e., all viewpoints converge to a single (Lambertian) point in the scene. This assumption does not hold in the presence of occlusions, making most current approaches unreliable precisely where accurate depth information is most important – at depth discontinuities. |
