Abstract

In this paper, we establish a forward simulation model of plenoptic camera which is implemented by inserting a micro-lens array in a conventional camera. The simulation model is used to emulate how the space objects at different depths are imaged by the main lens then remapped by the micro-lens and finally captured on the 2D sensor. We can easily modify the parameters of the simulation model such as the focal lengths and diameters of the main lens and micro-lens and the number of micro-lens. Employing the spatial integration, the refocused images and all-in-focus images are rendered based on the plenoptic images produced by the model. The forward simulation model can be used to determine the trade-offs between different configurations and to test any new researches related to plenoptic camera without the need of prototype.
