Dynamic detection and correction of light field camera array miscalibration

Abstract:

Techniques in connection with a light field camera array are disclosed, involving obtaining a first image data from a first image camera included in the light field camera array for a first time, obtaining a second image data from the first image camera included in the light field camera array for a second time before the first time, obtaining a third image data from a second image camera included in the light field camera array at a different position than the first image camera and having a field of view overlapping a field of view of the first imaging camera, detecting an inconsistency in a view of a scene between the first image data and the second image data and/or the third image data, automatically attempting to generate, in response to the detection of the inconsistency, correction data for the first image camera to reduce or eliminate the detected inconsistency.
