With the recent rise of Magic Leap in the technology industry, "light field imaging" is the core technology of Magic Leap's imaging principles. In this hot background, AR/VR hardware companies such as Lytro and Antvision Technology have also jumped out to promote their own "certain light field". Oh, by the way, Magic Leap claims to be a "digital light field", while Antvision Technology claims to be a "compound eye optical technology". In fact, they are essentially "four-dimensional light field display technology".
Before understanding such a tall thing, let's first conduct a few tedious encyclopedia science popularization.
What is a light field? According to the literature currently available, the official statement is that the definition of "light field" can be traced back to the definition given by Faraday in 1846, which is "barabarabara..." Light carries two-dimensional position information (u, v) and two-dimensional direction information( θ,φ ) Transmitting in a light field. According to Levoy's theory of light field rendering, any light in space that carries intensity and directional information, Barabara Barabara (Anyway, I excerpted it, and the specific content is not understandable to us, right?)
Simply put, a light field is a parameterized representation of a four-dimensional light radiation field that contains both position and direction information in space, and is the sum of all light radiation functions in space. Its two main application directions are light field photography and light field display. The first requires recording all information of the entire space, and the second requires reproducing this information in its entirety. If I can understand using the editor, it means obtaining true information of the entire spatial environment from any angle and position in space. The image information obtained using light fields is more comprehensive and of better quality.
Still very confused, right? So Let's take a look at how the Great God patiently and compassionately explained Xiaobai.
Before understanding this light field, you need to first understand the world we are currently seeing. Simply put, the world we see is reflected by physical light that enters our eyes, refracts through the lens, and so on. Finally, it is imaged in our retina, and then the retina converts these electrical signals through the visual nerve to the brain. When we look at different objects, the crystal shape of our glasses adjusts the thickness at any time To make the object clearer and focus. Simply put, when an object approaches, our pupils contract, similar to when a camera reduces the aperture to reduce light intensity and the ciliary muscle contracts, increasing the refractive power of the lens and allowing the retina to receive a clear real image, and vice versa.
And this process, with millions of years of human evolution, has become an instinct to focus at any time, and the accompanying anti shake skill (academic name Vestibulo Ocular Reflex, also known as VOR), makes it almost impossible for us to feel the screen shake during intermediate switching
