A light field , or lightfield , is a vector function that describes the amount of light flowing in every direction through every point in a space. The space of all possible light rays is given by the five-dimensional plenoptic function , and the magnitude of each ray is given by its radiance . Michael Faraday was the first to propose that light should be interpreted as a field, much like the magnetic fields on which he had been working. The term light field was coined by Andrey Gershun in a classic 1936 paper on the radiometric properties of light in three-dimensional space.

114-517: A 3D field. This two-dimensionality, compared with the apparent four-dimensionality of light, is because light travels in rays (0D at a point in time, 1D over time), while by the Huygens–Fresnel principle , a sound wave front can be modeled as spherical waves (2D at a point in time, 3D over time): light moves in a single direction (2D of information), while sound expands in every direction. However, light travelling in non-vacuous media may scatter in

190-440: A geometric model in 3D and try to reproject it onto a two-dimensional image. Computer vision, conversely, is mostly focused on detecting, grouping, and extracting features (edges, faces, etc. ) present in a given picture and then trying to interpret them as three-dimensional clues. Image-based modeling and rendering allows the use of multiple two-dimensional images in order to generate directly novel two-dimensional images, skipping

228-401: A light field depends on the application. A light field capture of Michelangelo 's statue of Night contains 24,000 1.3-megapixel images, which is considered large as of 2022. For light field rendering to completely capture an opaque object, images must be taken of at least the front and back. Less obviously, for an object that lies astride the st plane, finely spaced images must be taken on

Assuming L F ( s , t , u , v ) {\displaystyle L_{F}(s,t,u,v)} represents a 4-D light field that records light rays traveling from position ( u , v ) {\displaystyle (u,v)} on the first plane to position ( s , t ) {\displaystyle (s,t)} on

Devices for capturing light fields photographically may include a moving handheld camera or a robotically controlled camera, an arc of cameras (as in the bullet time effect used in The Matrix ), a dense array of cameras, handheld cameras , microscopes, or other optical system. The number of images in

342-448: A plenoptic function, if the region of interest contains a concave object (e.g., a cupped hand), then light leaving one point on the object may travel only a short distance before another point on the object blocks it. No practical device could measure the function in such a region. However, for locations outside the object's convex hull (e.g., shrink-wrap), the plenoptic function can be measured by capturing multiple images. In this case

380-442: A refocused image can be generated from the 4-D Fourier spectrum of a light field by extracting a 2-D slice, applying an inverse 2-D transform, and scaling. The asymptotic complexity of the algorithm is O ( N 2 log ⁡ N ) {\displaystyle O(N^{2}\operatorname {log} N)} . Another way to efficiently compute 2-D photographs is to adopt discrete focal stack transform (DFST). DFST

418-600: A region of three-dimensional space illuminated by an unchanging arrangement of lights is called the plenoptic function. The plenoptic illumination function is an idealized function used in computer vision and computer graphics to express the image of a scene from any possible viewing position at any viewing angle at any point in time. It is not used in practice computationally, but is conceptually useful in understanding other concepts in vision and graphics. Since rays in space can be parameterized by three coordinates, x , y , and z and two angles θ and ϕ , as shown at left, it

456-591: A scene model comprising a generalized light field and a relightable matter field. The generalized light field represents light flowing in every direction through every point in the field. The relightable matter field represents the light interaction properties and emissivity of matter occupying every point in the field. Scene data structures can be implemented using Neural Networks, and Physics-based structures, among others. The light and matter fields are at least partially disentangled.

494-438: A similar fashion, and the irreversibility or information lost in the scattering is discernible in the apparent loss of a system dimension. Because light field provides spatial and angular information, we can alter the position of focal planes after exposure, which is often termed refocusing . The principle of refocusing is to obtain conventional 2-D photographs from a light field through the integral transform. The transform takes

532-417: A single frame, it is possible to monitor neural activity in individual neurons randomly distributed in a large volume at video framerate. Quantitative measurement of neural activity can be done despite optical aberrations in brain tissue and without reconstructing a volume image, and be used to monitor activity in thousands of neurons. This is a method of 3D reconstruction from multiple images that creates

608-484: A variety of ways. The most common is the two-plane parameterization. While this parameterization cannot represent all rays, for example rays parallel to the two planes if the planes are parallel to each other, it relates closely to the analytic geometry of perspective imaging. A simple way to think about a two-plane light field is as a collection of perspective images of the st plane (and any objects that may lie astride or beyond it), each taken from an observer position on

646-419: A view has a finite depth of field . Shearing or warping the light field before performing this integration can focus on different fronto-parallel or oblique planes. Images captured by digital cameras that capture the light field can be refocused. Presenting a light field using technology that maps each sample to the appropriate ray in physical space produces an autostereoscopic visual effect akin to viewing

684-421: Is nonimaging optics . It extensively uses the concept of flow lines (Gershun's flux lines) and vector flux (Gershun's light vector). However, the light field (in this case the positions and directions defining the light rays) is commonly described in terms of phase space and Hamiltonian optics . Extracting appropriate 2D slices from the 4D light field of a scene, enables novel views of the scene. Depending on

722-405: Is a five-dimensional function, that is, a function over a five-dimensional manifold equivalent to the product of 3D Euclidean space and the 2-sphere . The light field at each point in space can be treated as an infinite collection of vectors, one per direction impinging on the point, with lengths proportional to their radiances. Integrating these vectors over any collection of lights, or over

836-417: Is high computation complexity. To compute an N × N {\displaystyle N\times N} 2-D photograph from an N × N × N × N {\displaystyle N\times N\times N\times N} 4-D light field, the complexity of the formula is O ( N 4 ) {\displaystyle O(N^{4})} . One way to reduce

874-537: Is one of the earliest examples of computed light fields. Glare arises due to multiple scattering of light inside the camera body and lens optics that reduces image contrast. While glare has been analyzed in 2D image space, it is useful to identify it as a 4D ray-space phenomenon. Statistically analyzing the ray-space inside a camera allows the classification and removal of glare artifacts. In ray-space, glare behaves as high frequency noise and can be reduced by outlier rejection. Such analysis can be performed by capturing

912-667: Is the photography operator. In practice, this formula cannot be directly used because a plenoptic camera usually captures discrete samples of the lightfield L F ( s , t , u , v ) {\displaystyle L_{F}(s,t,u,v)} , and hence resampling (or interpolation) is needed to compute L F ( u ( 1 − 1 α ) + s α , u ) {\textstyle L_{F}\left({\boldsymbol {u}}\left(1-{\frac {1}{\alpha }}\right)+{\frac {\boldsymbol {s}}{\alpha }},{\boldsymbol {u}}\right)} . Another problem

950-461: Is usually not on the 4-D grid, DFST adopts trigonometric interpolation to compute the non-grid values. The algorithm consists of these steps: In computer graphics, light fields are typically produced either by rendering a 3D model or by photographing a real scene. In either case, to produce a light field, views must be obtained for a large collection of viewpoints. Depending on the parameterization, this collection typically spans some portion of

988-552: The uv plane (in the two-plane parameterization shown above). The number and arrangement of images in a light field, and the resolution of each image, are together called the "sampling" of the 4D light field. Also of interest are the effects of occlusion, lighting and reflection. Gershun's reason for studying the light field was to derive (in closed form) illumination patterns that would be observed on surfaces due to light sources of various shapes positioned above these surface. The branch of optics devoted to illumination engineering

1026-524: The uv plane. A light field parameterized this way is sometimes called a light slab. The analog of the 4D light field for sound is the sound field or wave field , as in wave field synthesis , and the corresponding parametrization is the Kirchhoff–Helmholtz integral , which states that, in the absence of obstacles, a sound field over time is given by the pressure on a plane. Thus this is two dimensions of information at any point in time, and over time,

1064-420: The complexity of computation is to adopt the concept of Fourier slice theorem : The photography operator P α [ ⋅ ] {\displaystyle {\mathcal {P}}_{\alpha }\left[\cdot \right]} can be viewed as a shear followed by projection. The result should be proportional to a dilated 2-D slice of the 4-D Fourier transform of a light field. More precisely,

1140-601: The entire sphere of directions, produces a single scalar value—the total irradiance at that point, and a resultant direction. The figure shows this calculation for the case of two light sources. In computer graphics, this vector-valued function of 3D space is called the vector irradiance field. The vector direction at each point in the field can be interpreted as the orientation of a flat surface placed at that point to most brightly illuminate it. Time, wavelength , and polarization angle can be treated as additional dimensions, yielding higher-dimensional functions, accordingly. In

1178-404: The function contains redundant information, because the radiance along a ray remains constant throughout its length. The redundant information is exactly one dimension, leaving a four-dimensional function variously termed the photic field, the 4D light field or lumigraph. Formally, the field is defined as radiance along rays in empty space. The set of rays in a light field can be parameterized in

1216-987: The manual modeling stage. Instead of considering only the physical model of a solid, IBMR methods usually focus more on light modeling. The fundamental concept behind IBMR is the plenoptic illumination function which is a parametrisation of the light field . The plenoptic function describes the light rays contained in a given volume. It can be represented with seven dimensions: a ray is defined by its position ( x , y , z ) {\displaystyle (x,y,z)} , its orientation ( θ , ϕ ) {\displaystyle (\theta ,\phi )} , its wavelength ( λ ) {\displaystyle (\lambda )} and its time ( t ) {\displaystyle (t)} : P ( x , y , z , θ , ϕ , λ , t ) {\displaystyle P(x,y,z,\theta ,\phi ,\lambda ,t)} . IBMR methods try to approximate

Non-digital technologies for doing this include integral photography , parallax panoramagrams , and holography ; digital technologies include placing an array of lenslets over a high-resolution display screen, or projecting the imagery onto an array of lenslets using an array of video projectors. An array of video cameras can capture and display a time-varying light field. This essentially constitutes

Light field rendering is one form of image-based rendering . Integrating an appropriate 4D subset of the samples in a light field can approximate the view that would be captured by a camera having a finite (i.e., non- pinhole ) aperture. Such

Given the high dimensionality of this function, practical methods place constraints on the parameters in order to reduce this number (typically to 2 to 4).

The term is used in modern research such as neural radiance fields For geometric optics —i.e., to incoherent light and to objects larger than
