Description
Summary:Recording and imaging the 3D world has led to the use of light fields. Capturing, distributing and presenting light field data is challenging, and requires an evaluation platform. We define a framework for real-time processing, and present the design and implementation of a light field evaluation system. In order to serve as a testbed, the system is designed to be flexible, scalable, and able to model various end-to-end light field systems. This flexibility is achieved by encapsulating processes and devices in discrete framework systems. The modular capture system supports multiple camera types, general-purpose data processing, and streaming to network interfaces. The cloud system allows for parallel transcoding and distribution of streams. The presentation system encapsulates rendering and display specifics. The real-time ability was tested in a latency measurement; the capture and presentation systems process and stream frames within a 40 ms limit.
