A Geometric Observer for Scene Reconstruction Using Plenoptic Cameras

Optimization and Control 2018-09-24 v1

Abstract

This paper proposes an observer for generating depth maps of a scene from a sequence of measurements acquired by a two-plane light-field (plenoptic) camera. The observer is based on a gradient-descent methodology. The use of motion allows for estimation of depth maps where the scene contains insufficient texture for static estimation methods to work. A rigourous analysis of stability of the observer error is provided, and the observer is tested in simulation, demonstrating convergence behaviour.
