Article Abstract

When using plenoptic camera for digital refocusing, angular undersampling can cause severe (angular) aliasing artifacts. Previous approaches have focused on avoiding aliasing by pre-processing the acquired light field via prefiltering, demosaicing, reparameterization, and so on. In this paper, we present a different solution that first detects and then removes angular aliasing at the light field refocusing stage. Different from previous frequency domain aliasing analysis, we carry out a spatial domain analysis to reveal whether the angular aliasing would occur and uncover where in the image it would occur. The spatial analysis also facilitates easy separation of the aliasing versus non-aliasing regions and angular aliasing removal. Experiments on both synthetic scene and real light field data sets (camera array and Lytro camera) demonstrate that our approach has a number of advantages over the classical prefiltering and depth-dependent light field rendering techniques.

High-precision, ultra-thin angular detectable imaging upon a single pixel holds significant promise for light-field detection and reconstruction, thereby catalyzing advancements in machine vision and interaction technology. Traditional light-direction angle sensors relying on optical components like gratings and lenses face inherent constraints from diffraction limits in achieving device miniaturization. Recently, angle sensors via coupled double nanowires have demonstrated prowess in attaining high-precision angle perception of incident light at sub-wavelength device scales, which may herald a novel design paradigm for ultra-compact angle sensors.

Integral imaging (InIm) working with a pixelated device (e.g., a display panel) and a microlens array (MLA) suffers from low spatial resolution because of a significant trade-off between the spatial and angular resolution.

Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights a 1-year delay in how the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects extratropical climates, revealing that this response connects with the Arctic Oscillation and is particularly pronounced in the North Atlantic, resembling the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO).
  • Unexpectedly, the delayed effects are found to be as strong as the more widely recognized immediate winter impacts, but they occur with opposite signs: a positive NAO follows El Niño and a negative NAO follows La Niña after one year.
  • The findings suggest that these lagged responses are not due to overlapping ENSO cycles but are instead driven by changes in atmospheric angular momentum, which could improve our understanding of climate patterns and enhance climate prediction accuracy.

Purpose: Multi-Shot (MS) Echo-Planar Imaging (EPI) may improve the in-plane resolution of multi-b-value DWI, yet it also considerably increases the scan time. Here we explored the combination of EPI with Keyhole (EPIK) and a calibrationless reconstruction algorithm for acceleration of multi-b-value MS-DWI.

Methods: We firstly analyzed the impact of nonuniform phase accrual in EPIK on the reconstructed image.
