Method for processing a light field image delivering a super-rays representation of a light field image

An electronic device configured to process a light field image comprising a plurality of views of a 3D scene, the electronic device comprising at least one processor and at least one memory having stored instructions operative, when executed by the at least one processor, to cause the electronic device to:

• obtain a super-ray representation for the light field, wherein the super-ray representation comprises a plurality of super-rays, wherein each super-ray groups pixels corresponding to a set of light rays having a similar color from each of the plurality of views, and wherein the set of light rays for each super-ray originates from one area of the 3D scene;
• and
• process the light field by processing the super-ray representation for the light field, wherein processing the light field comprises at least one of editing the light field, segmenting the light field, and refocusing the light field.
