Liron Yatziv Department of Electrical Engineering "Light Field Completion" Thursday October 28th, 12:20-1:10, Lind 409

Abstract
A light field is a 4D function representing radiance as a function of ray position and direction in 3D space. This talk will give an overview of 2D completion methods (restoration methods) and describe a method for recovering gaps in light fields of scenes that contain significant occluders. In these situations, although a large fraction of the scene may be blocked in any one view, most scene points are visible in at least some views. As a consequence, although too much information is missing to employ 2D completion methods that operate within a single view, it may be possible to recover the lost information by completion in 4D - the full dimensionality of the light field.
