US 2014/0176592 A1 · CONFIGURING TWO-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE PROCESSING BASED ON LIGHT-FIELD PARAMETERS

Abstract

According to various embodiments, the present may be used to apply a wide variety of processes to a two-dimensional image generated from light-field data. One or more parameters, such as light-field parameters and/or device capture parameters may be included in metadata of the two-dimensional image, and may be retrieved and processed to determine the appropriate value(s) of a first setting of the process. The process may be applied uniformly, or with variation across subsets of the two-dimensional image, down to individual pixels. The process may be a noise filtering process, an image sharpening process, a color adjustment process, a tone curve process, a contrast adjustment process, a saturation adjustment process, a gamma adjustment process, a combination thereof, or any other known process that may be desirable for enhancing two-dimensional images.

Dependent claims

A method for processing a two-dimensional image projected from light-field data, comprising:

at a processor, retrieving a two-dimensional image projected from light-field data;
at the processor, retrieving at least one parameter associated with the two-dimensional image;
at the processor, based on the parameter, determining a first setting of a process;
and
