Abstract

A system and method for computational zoom generates a resulting image having two or more effective focal lengths. A first surface within a three-dimensional (3D) scene including a first and second set of 3D objects defined by 3D information is identified. The first and second sets of 3D objects are located within first and second depth ranges of the 3D scene, respectively. The first set of 3D objects is projected onto the first surface according to a first projection mapping to produce a first portion of image components. The second set of 3D objects is projected onto the first surface according to a second projection mapping to produce a second portion of image components. The resulting image comprising the first portion of image components and the second portion of image components is generated based on a camera projection from the first surface to a camera view plane.
