  1. The Multi-Focus Plenoptic Camera T. Georgiev, Adobe Systems A. Lumsdaine, Indiana University

  2. Capturing Memorable Moments

  3. What’s Missing with this Picture?

  4. The Lippmann Sensor • Can we request that Photography renders the full variety offered by the direct observation of objects? Is it possible to create a photographic print in such a manner that it represents the exterior world framed, in appearance, between the boundaries of the print, as if those boundaries were that of a window opened on reality. Gabriel Lippmann, 1908.

  5. Pixels and Cores: What do we do with that power? • Moore’s Law: Megapixels keep growing • 7.2 MP = 8 by 10 at 300dpi • Available on cell phones • 60MP sensors available now • Larger available soon (can a use be found?) • Use pixels to capture richer information about a scene • Computationally process captured data • GPU power also riding Moore’s Law curve

  6. How do we take advantage of these trends? • Plenopticcamera – High resolution; computationally intensive rendering • The pixels are samples of the radiance in the 4D ray space • Optical elements (lenses, space) transform the ray space • We take a picture by rendering (computationally) • We adjust the picture by transforming the ray space (computationally)

  10. The Full Variety: Different Views

  13. Radiance (Plenoptic Function, Lightfield) • Instead of integrating rays coming from all directions into a given point (traditional camera), capture the rays individually (capture the radiance) using the Lippmann Sensor • Record all the information about the scene

  14. Plenoptic lens array outside the camera

  15. Microlenses inside the camera

  16. Problem - Solution • Problem: Limited depth of field • Solution: Microlenses of different focal lengths (This is similar to HDR where we use microlenses of different apertures)

  17. Multifocus • Lytro and Raytrixalready selling plenoptic cameras • Variable focal lengths: Better focusing. Our work on that started 2009. • Raytrix actually use microlenses of different focal lengths in their camera. • Lytro use single focal length (Plenoptic 1.0)
