Patent number: 11523097Abstract: A process and an apparatus for the plenoptic capture of photographic or cinematographic images of an object or a 3D scene (10) of interest are based on a correlated light emitting source and correlation measurement, along the line of “Correlation Plenoptic Imaging” (CPI). A first image sensor (Da) and a second image sensor (Db) detect images along a path of a first light beam (a) and a second light beam (b), respectively. A processing unit (100) of the intensities detected by the synchronized image sensors (Da, Db) is configured to retrieve the propagation direction of light by measuring spatio-temporal correlations between light intensities detected in the image planes of at least two arbitrary planes (P?, P?; D?b, D?a) chosen in the vicinity of the object or within the 3D scene (10).Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI BARI ALDO MOROInventors: Milena D'Angelo, Augusto Garuccio, Francesco Vincenzo Pepe, Francesco Maria Di Lena
