| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation presents a research work on rendering images from light elds captured with a focused plenoptic camera with extended depth of eld. A basic overview of the 7 dimensional plenoptic function is rst given, followed by a description of the Two-Plane Parametrisation. Some of the various methods used for sampling the plenoptic functions are then described, namely those equivalent to acquisition functions implemented by the camera gantry, the unfocused plenoptic camera and the focused plenoptic camera. State-of-the-art image rendering algorithms have also been studied both for focused and unfocused plenoptic cameras. A comprehensive study of the behaviour of focus metrics when applied to images rendered form a focused plenoptic camera is presented, including 34 of the most widely used metrics in the literature. Due to high frequency artefacts, caused by the rendering process, it was found that the currently available focus metrics yield in ated values for this kind of images, leading to misindication, where worse-focused images have better focus measures. Subjective tests were carried out, in order to corroborate these results. Then, methods for minimizing the rendering artefacts are proposed. An algorithm for choosing the maximum patch size for each micro-image was designed, in order to minimize the distortions caused by the vignetting e ect of the micro-lens. Then an inpainting algorithm, based on anisotropic di usion inpainting, is used to minimize the remaining artefacts present in the borders between adjacent micro-images. Finally, a method to deal with the redundant information generated by a plenoptic camera with extended depth of eld is presented. Three di erent views of the same scene are rendered, with the three di erent types of lenses. Then, it is proven that making any linear combination of the images always results in worse focus than selecting the better focused one. Thus, a multi-focus image fusion algorithm is proposed to merge the three images captured by a extended depth-of- eld camera into a single one, which presents higher focus level than any of the three individual images. | pt_PT |
