Student Assistant / Intern for the Development of Light-Field Algorithms Using Deep Learning

Kennziffer 57750

Capturing a scene with a camera array instead of a single camera enables a wide range of possibilities during post-production as not only a single intensity image is acquired but a so-called light-field is recorded. With this light-field, for instance, the scene depth can be estimated, intermediate views necessary for VR applications can be rendered, virtual camera movements can be created, or the depth of field can be changed retrospectively. However, achieving these goals requires computational imaging algorithms to be applied on the captured data.

In recent years, deep learning techniques have developed to be popular and effective tools for many tasks in the field of image and video processing. Especially convolutional neural networks have proven to achieve high image quality in many a different task. Furthermore, generative adversarial networks are applied to various image processing tasks and lead to visually very appealing results.
Your task would be to implement and evaluate novel concepts based on deep learning methods for light-field applications. Therefore, this work might involve – but is not limited to – improving the quality of geometric calibration, disparity estimation, view rendering, or filtering. The overall goal is to generate visually appealing view rendering results.
