  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING LIGHT FIELD IMAGES
    Publication number: 20230262208
    Abstract: A system and/or method can be operable to receive a plurality of views of one or more scenes (e.g., from different perspectives) and generate a lightfield image and/or lightfield video from the plurality of views. The generated lightfield image and/or lightfield video can be encoded, transmitted, and/or decoded, for instance to facilitate sharing of the lightfield image and/or light field video.
