Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new light field (LF) reconstruction network
that increases LF angular resolution. The proposed method consists of
two parts that extracts the initial feature map and refines the
extracted initial feature map. In order to efficiently extract features
from input images, we rearrange the input images into a macro-pixel
image using pixel shuffle and then extract the initial feature map using
successive convolution layers. The refinement network continuously
extracts inherent correlation information using a dense back-projection
structure. Finally, we are able to stably train the network and
reconstruct high-quality LF images by connecting the initial feature map
and the output of the refinement network with long skip connection.
Simulation results show that the proposed network outperforms other
existing methods in terms of execution time and reconstructed LF image
quality.
