Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of computer vision and digital image processing, and more particularly to a light field encoded imaging method and apparatus for a scattering scene. The method includes: obtaining scattering light field data, and extracting a refocusing focal stack corresponding to different offset pixels between views from the scattering light field data; transforming an image in the refocusing focal stack into a saturation domain to form a processed focal stack; comparing boundary sharpness degrees of each region in the processed focal stack when refocusing by different offset pixels, and extracting offset pixels corresponding to the sharpest boundary of each region by using a 1-norm operator; and converting the offset pixels into a depth map of a target based on data parameters of the light field.
