Abstract
For occlusion handing in lightfield rendering, layered lightfields are created. Rather than use one lightfield for one camera position and orientation, multiple lightfields representing different depths or surfaces at different depths relative to that camera position and orientation are created. By using layered lightfields for the various camera positions and orientations, the camera may be located within the convex hull or scanned object. The depths of the layers are used to select the lightfields for a given camera position and location.
