Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new 3D passive image sensing and visualization technique to improve lateral resolution and depth of field (DoF) of integral imaging simultaneously. There is a resolution trade-off between lateral resolution and DoF in integral imaging. To overcome this issue, a large aperture and a small aperture can be used to record the elemental images to reduce the diffraction effect and extend the DoF, respectively. Therefore, in this paper, we utilize these two pickup concepts with a non-uniform camera array. To show the feasibility of our proposed method, we implement an optical experiment. For comparison in details, we calculate the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) as the performance metric.
