Arbitrarily-controllable programmable aperture light field cameras : design theory, and applications to image deconvolution & 3-dimensional scanning

[摘要] This thesis describes a new class of programmable-aperture light field cameras based on an all-digital, grayscale aperture. A number of prototypes utilizing this arbitrarily-controllable programmable aperture (ACPA) light field technology are presented. This new method of capturing light field data lends itself to an improved deconvolution technique dubbed ;;Programmable Deconvolution,;; as well as to 3D scanning and super-resolution imaging. The use & performance of ACPA cameras in these applications is explored both in theory and with experimental results. Additionally, a framework for ACPA camera design for optimal 3D scanning is described.
