Consistently editing light field data

[0063]General concepts and specific details of certain embodiments of the disclosure are set forth in the following description and in FIGS. 1 to 5 to provide a thorough understanding of such embodiments. Nevertheless, the present disclosure may have additional embodiments, or may be practiced without several of the details described in the following description.

5.1 General Concepts and Prerequisites

[0064]The invention describes a method for propagating a geometric warp specified by positional constraints on some of the views of a light-field capture, the reference views, to all the views and generating a warped image for each view, in such a way that the warped images are geometrically consistent in 3D across views.

[0065]We assume that the light field is given by a set of views V={Vm} which sample the viewing angle under which the scene is captured, as illustrated by FIG. 1.

[0066]This set V of views Vm comprises at least two reference views Vj and at least one additional view Vk.
