An exact and efficient 3D reconstruction method from captured light-fields using the fractional Fourier transform

Abstract

Recently we have introduced a new method for refocusing images from captured light fields. The method is based on the fractional Fourier transform and allows refocusing a stack of images with a single step. The new techniques is computational efficient and more exact than alternative ones as it doesn't need any interpolations. Here we overview the method present a comparison of our technique to other refocusing techniques.
