Light Field Stitching Via Mesh Deformation Alignment and Low-Rank-Based Fusion
摘要
Applying light field (LF) stitching on adjacent LFs can obtain an LF with a wider field of view. However, existing methods hardly maintain a consistent angular relationship for stitched LFs, and they usually have high computational complexity. This paper proposes a novel LF stitching solution to address the two issues. It includes a mesh deformation for LF alignment and a low-rank approximation for the fusion of aligned LFs. To keep the angular consistency of LFs, geometry information is taken into the proposed mesh deformation so that the aligned LFs can follow the correct angular relationship. To reduce complexity, we adopt the low-rank approximation to simplify the 4D LF into 2D matrices. Thus, a simple 2D graph-cut can efficiently fuse the aligned LFs. Experimental results show that the proposed solution is superior to others regarding pixel matching and angular consistency. Meanwhile, it has a lower time complexity than others.
