The Plenoptic Function Lázaro Hermoso Beltrán
Previous Concepts “The body of the air is full of an infinite number of radiant pyramids caused by the objects located in it” Leonardo Da Vinci • Pencil of rays: The set of light rays passing through any point in space • Plenoptic function • Plenus : complete or full • Optic
Definition (I) “Radiance received along any direction V arriving at any point E in space, at any time ‘t’ and over any range of wavelength” • 7-Dimensional function
Geometric Components of the pencil of ray lights ANGULAR COORDINATES • E = (Ex, Ey, Ez) • Viewpoint • . • Direction of the ray light passin trough the Viewpoint CARTESIAN COORDINATES • Comonly used in machine vision
How would obtain plenoptic function • Placing an imaginary eye at every position • Record the intensity of light at every angle • For every wavelength • At every time t • It does not need specify the • direction of gaze!!
The Holographic Movie Example • Black and white photo • Color photograph • Color movie • Color holographic movie
Plenoptic Measurements in Human Vision • PF potential iformation available • Observer takes samples from PF • Not all the information is usefull. Enviroment has determined what is usefull (movements predators). Enviroment constraints
P.M. in Human Vision • Measurements has limited • resolution and number of • Samples • Space and time the more importants
P.M. in Human Vision • An example of what we can not measure http://web.mit.edu/persci/demos/Lightness/gaz-teaching/flash/koffka-movie.swf
Plenoptic Measurements: Red Bar Example (Vx, Vy, Vz)
P.M. in Machine Vision • Develop a taxonomy of derivative types • “Periodic Table” • of visual elements • Constraints • Available information (PF)
Aplications: Image Based Rendering • IBR : Sampling and Rendering • Problem, PF is 7D function.We need reduce it! • RGB representation • Plenoptic modelling • Light Field/Lumigraph P(s, t, u, v) • 2D-Image Mosaicing
RGB – Representation • Three 5-D functions
Plenoptic Modelling • Without time and wavelength • Taking samples with cameras in enough close positions • We can reconstruct PF interpolating the samples
Light Field • Assumption that that rays does not change intensity along direction • Parametrization rays with 2 parallel planes
2D-Image Mosacing • To paste serial 2D images to obtain a wider image. The images share the same proyection point • Panoramic mosaic or Panorama • We reconstruct a 2D Plenoptic function
