• Abstract: Light-field disparity estimation requires global consistency in smooth or textureless regions and local precision near occlusion boundaries, thin structures, and abrupt depth transitions. Existing methods address these requirements through EPI matching, cost-volume or focal-stack construction, view aggregation, or direct convolutional regression, often relying on local windows, discrete disparity hypotheses, memory-intensive volumes, or attention-based aggregation. We instead formulate disparity estimation at the field level, predicting disparity from globally and locally updated EPI-derived latent features without explicitly constructing a disparity volume. We introduce FreqLF, an EPI-guided Fourier-local framework that encodes angular parallax cues from horizontal and vertical EPI stacks together with central-view appearance features. These cues are projected into a latent field and updated through stacked hybrid Fourier-local layers. Fourier low-mode updates enable global feature interaction, while local convolutions preserve spatial variations needed for fine disparity detail. A coordinate-conditioned Gaussian-mixture decoder then predicts disparity, using the mixture mean as the final estimate. Experiments on the HCI 4D Light Field Benchmark show that FreqLF approaches the accuracy of strong supervised baselines while avoiding explicit cost-volume construction in the base model. Ablations confirm the complementary roles of the Fourier and local branches, and scaling experiments demonstrate practical behavior across spatial resolutions. These results suggest that Fourier-local latent field learning is a competitive alternative for light-field disparity estimation. The code will be published soon.
