| Abstract | Light-field raw data captured by a state-of-the-art light-field camera is limited in its spatial and angular resolutions due to the camera's optical hardware. In this paper, we propose an all-software algorithm to synthesize light-field raw data from a single RGB-D input image, which is driven largely by the need in the research area of light-field data compression. Our synthesis algorithm consists of three key steps: (1) each pixel of the input image is regarded as a spot lighting source that emits directional light rays with an equal strength; (2) the optical path of each directional light ray through the camera's main lens as well as the corresponding micro lens is considered as accurately as possible; and (3) the occlusion of light rays among objects at different distances within the input image is handled with the depth information. The spatial and angular resolutions of our synthesized light-field data can be scaled up when the input RGB-D image has a higher and higher spatial resolution. Meanwhile, for a given input image with a fixed size, we pay a special attention to what would be the extreme we can push the parameters involved in our synthesis algorithm, such as the number of rays emitted from each pixel, the number of micro lenses, and the number of sensors associated with each micro lens. The usefulness of our synthesized data is validated by refocusing, all-in-focus, and sub-aperture reconstructions. In particular, all-in-focus images are evaluated objectively by computing the structural similarity (SSIM) index, which allows us to reach the goal of pushing to the extreme through selecting various parameters mentioned above. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
