The image sequence is calibrated with a structure-from-motion approach that considers the special viewing geometry of plenoptic scenes. By applying a stereo matching technique, dense depth maps are recovered locally for each viewpoint. View-dependent rendering can be accomplished by mapping all images onto a common plane of mean geometry and weighting them in dependence on the actual position of a virtual camera. To improve accuracy, approximating planes are defined locally in a hierarchical refinement process. Their pose is calculated from the local depth maps associated with each view without requiring a consistent global representation of scene geometry. Extensive experiments with ground truth data and hand-held sequences confirm performance and accuracy of our approach.}, groups = {before2000}, keywords = {Bild}, }
