Description
Summary:The article reports on the impact of light fields on computational imaging. The theory and practice of light field imaging give emphasis on the devices used by researchers in computer graphics. Computer vision has also built and developed techniques to capture light field photographically and compute novel images. Digital computers are considered the most important scientific instrument. Computational imaging, which is a powerful tool, is the result of computer coupling. The use of computers in image formation has allowed for the observation and operation of visible wavelengths, where the light flows through space.
