Ranieri, S. Heinzle, P. Barnum, W. Matusik, M. Gross booktitle : SID Symposium Digest of Technical Papers ISSN/ISBN : 2168-0159 editor : publisher : Blackwell Publishing Ltd publ.place : United States volume : 44 issue : 1 language : English keywords : display; light field; multi-layered; plenoptic function; display primitives; light field decomposition; light transport abstract : A new concept using different display layer primitives for light field approximation is presented. For each primitive, a mathematical notation for the light transport operator is defined. Based on that, a decomposition algorithm rendering a light field into a multi-layered plenoptic display is described and verified by a physical prototype.
