Space-Time Super-Resolution for Light Field Videos

Light field (LF) cameras suffer from a fundamental trade-off between spatial and angular resolutions. Additionally, due to the significant amount of data that needs to be recorded, the Lytro ILLUM, a modern LF camera, can only capture three frames per second. In this paper, we consider space-time su...

520 |a Light field (LF) cameras suffer from a fundamental trade-off between spatial and angular resolutions. Additionally, due to the significant amount of data that needs to be recorded, the Lytro ILLUM, a modern LF camera, can only capture three frames per second. In this paper, we consider space-time super-resolution (SR) for LF videos, aiming at generating high-resolution and high-frame-rate LF videos from low-resolution and low-frame-rate observations. Extending existing space-time video SR methods to this task directly will meet two key challenges: 1) how to re-organize sub-aperture images (SAIs) efficiently and effectively given highly redundant LF videos, and 2) how to aggregate complementary information between multiple SAIs and frames considering the coherence in LF videos. To address the above challenges, we propose a novel framework for space-time super-resolving LF videos for the first time. First, we propose a novel Multi-Scale Dilated SAI Re-organization strategy for re-organizing SAIs into auxiliary view stacks with decreasing resolution as the Chebyshev distance in the angular dimension increases. In particular, the auxiliary view stack with original resolution preserves essential visual details, while the down-scaled view stacks capture long-range contextual information. Second, we propose the Multi-Scale Aggregated Feature extractor and the Angular-Assisted Feature Interpolation module to utilize and aggregate information from the spatial, angular, and temporal dimensions in LF videos. The former aggregates similar contents from different SAIs and frames for subsequent reconstruction in a disparity-free manner at the feature level, whereas the latter interpolates intermediate frames temporally by implicitly aggregating geometric information. Compared to other potential approaches, experimental results demonstrate that the reconstructed LF videos generated by our framework achieve higher reconstruction quality and better preserve the LF parallax structure and temporal consistency.
