Abstract
A method and an apparatus for handling a defect object in an image. A light field information retrieving unit retrieves a light field capture of the image. A view generator generates a center view and two or more side views from the light field capture. A defect determining unit then determines a defect object in the image through a comparison of the center view and the two or more side views.
Claims36
A method for handling a defect object in an image, the method comprising:
- retrieving a light field capture of the image;
- generating a center view and two or more side views from the light field capture;
- and
- determining a defect object in the image through a comparison of the center view and the two or more side views.
A computer readable non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions enabling handling a defect object in an image, which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- retrieve a light field capture of the image;
- generate a center view and two or more side views from the light field capture;
- and
- determine a defect object in the image through a comparison of the center view and the two or more side views.
An apparatus configured to handle a defect object in an image, the apparatus comprising:
- a light field information retrieving unit configured to retrieve a light field capture of the image;
- a view generator configured to generate a center view and two or more side views from the light field capture;
- and
- a defect determining unit configured to determine a defect object in the image through a comparison of the center view and the two or more side views.
An apparatus configured to handle a defect object in an image, the apparatus comprising a processing device and a memory device having stored therein instructions, which, when executed by the processing device, cause the apparatus to:
- retrieve a light field capture of the image;
- generate a center view and two or more side views from the light field capture;
- and
- determine a defect object in the image through a comparison of the center view and the two or more side views.
