• Abstract: Light-field displays create an immersive experience by providing binocular depth sensation and motion parallax. Stacking light attenuating layers is one approach to implement a light field display with a broader depth of field, wide viewing angles and high resolution. Due to the transparent holographic optical element (HOE) layers, additive layered displays can be integrated into augmented reality (AR) wearables to overlay virtual objects onto the real world, creating a seamless mixed reality (XR) experience. This paper proposes a novel framework for light field representation and coding that utilizes Deep Belief Network (DBN) and weighted binary images suitable for additive layered displays. The weighted binary representation of layers makes the framework more flexible for adaptive bitrate encoding. The framework effectively captures intrinsic redundancies in the light field data, and thus provides a scalable solution for light field coding suitable for XR display applications. The latent code is encoded by H.265 codec generating a rate-scalable bit-stream. We achieve adaptive bitrate decoding by varying the number of weighted binary images and the H.265 quantization parameter, while maintaining an optimal reconstruction quality. The framework is tested on real and synthetic benchmark datasets, and the results validate the rate-scalable property of the proposed scheme.

  Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) aims to improve low-illumination images. Existing methods face two challenges: uncertainty in restoration from diverse brightness degradations and loss of texture and color information. We propose a novel enhancement approach, CodeEnhance, by leveraging quantized priors and image refinement.

The framework uses the intermediate enhanced result to estimate the illumination map, which is then employed in the unfolding process to produce a new enhanced result. To properly leverage the unique characteristics of LF images, this paper proposes a pseudo-explicit feature interaction module.

  This paper addresses the problem of view synthesis from large baseline light fields by turning a sparse set of input views into a Multi-plane Image (MPI) Because available datasets are scarce, we propose a lightweight network that does not require extensive training. Our model does not learn to estimate RGB layers but only encodes the scene geometry within MPI alpha layers, which comes down to a segmentation task.
