User interface for manipulating light-field images

Abstract

The disclosure concerns a user interface for manipulating light-field images. Light-field data provides depth information alongside the images themselves, such that conventional post-processing tools are not adapted to the post-processing of light-field data. Furthermore, the manipulation of light-field images may not be easy and intuitive for non-professional users. The disclosure enables a user to manipulate light-field images in a user-friendly way. Indeed, in this solution, a user only has to select regions of the light-field image to be rendered in-focus, and select a bokeh to be applied to out-of-focus regions of the light-field image as inputs for a post-processing tool. Once the light-field image post-processing tool has processed the light-field image, a final post-processed light-field image is rendered which corresponds to the specifications of the user.
