Abstract
A method for light field rendering includes: obtaining an n-dimensional mixture model, with n a natural number equal to or larger than 4, of a light field. The model is made of kernels wherein each kernel represents light information and is expressed by parameter values; mathematically reducing the n-dimensional mixture model into a 2-dimensional mixture model of an image given a certain point of view, wherein the 2-dimensional model is also made of kernels; rendering a view in a pixel domain from the 2-dimensional model made of kernels.
