Abstract
A method is provided for using Light-Field Dynamic Homography (DH) to generate a large virtual focal plane from a non-rigid camera array with narrow overlaps between their fields of view (FOV). The method incorporates the 3D geometry of the cameras and employs non-linear least square optimization to dynamically estimate the inter-view homography transformations. Remarkably, only two feature correspondences are required between adjacent views to stitch the images and generate a wide virtual focal plane array, eliminating the need for significant FOV overlaps between the multiple cameras.
