1. Light Fields on the Cheap Jason Yang 6.838 Final Project Presentation

2. Previous Work Levoy & Hanrahan, Light-Field Rendering, SIGGRAPH 1995Light-Field Rendering Gortler, Grzeszczuk, Szeliski, & Cohen, The Lumigraph, SIGGRAPH 1995 The Lumigraph Isaksen, McMillan, & Gortler, Dynamically Reparameterized Light Fields

3. Motivation High costs of making the camera system is a barrier to entry Want to make it cheaper

4. The Device UMAX 2000P Scanner ($71.95) –36 bit color –600 x 1200 dpi 6x5 Grid of 1” Bug Boxes –focal length  2.5” –field of view  23° 12V Lead Acid Bat.

5. What Comes Out After 7 min. we get a light field, but… Color problems Aspect ratio Radial distortion Parallax “problem”

6. Color Correction Mount an IR filter inside CCD housing Auto levels correction by Photoshop or white balancing by Matlab 1.Calculate average value of each channel 2.Multiply values of red and green channel by a gain factor

7. OriginalAfter Auto Levels Taken by Digital Camera  600x520 image

8. Just a reference BeforeAfter

9. Aspect Ratio

10. Radial Distortion Fix using correction software

11. Parallax Problem

12. Scanner Optics

13. CCD Hole Lens

14. Why Does it Occur?

15. Summary Capture device is built Images are pretty good Needs image-processing –Color –Aspect ratio –Radial distortion Future: –Better distortion correction –Calibration
