However, it is costly and challenging to capture them. In this paper, we propose a learning based algorithm to reconstruct a densely-sampled LF fast and accurately from a sparsely-sampled LF in one forward pass. Our method uses computationally efficient convolutions to deeply characterize the high dimensional spatial-angular clues in a coarse-tofine manner. Specifically, our end-to-end model first synthesizes a set of intermediate novel sub-aperture images (SAIs) by exploring the coarse characteristics of the sparsely-sampled LF input with spatial-angular alternating convolutions. Then, the synthesized intermediate novel SAIs are efficiently refined by further recovering the fine relations from all SAIs via guided residual learning and stride-2 4-D convolutions. Experimental results on extensive real-world and synthetic LF images show that our model can provide more than 3 dB advantage in reconstruction quality in average than the state-of-the-art methods while being computationally faster by a factor of 30. Besides, more accurate depth can be inferred from the reconstructed densely-sampled LFs by our method.","url_abs":"http://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_ECCV_2018/html/Henry_W._F._Yeung_Fast_Light_Field_ECCV_2018_paper.html","url_pdf":"http://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_ECCV_2018/papers/Henry_W._F._Yeung_Fast_Light_Field_ECCV_2018_paper.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"fast-light-field-reconstruction-with-deep","repo_url":"https://github.com/angularsr/LightFieldAngularSR","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
