Rehexing Images about light-field-video HOT 6 OPEN

I didn't fully understand your question. Could you elaborate on that?

You can of course reshape all the viewpoints into one image, but the spatial resolution still remains the same. You won't get extra pixels by just doing that.

Thank you both for answering, I'll of course attempt now to make my question clearer :)

I assume that you sampled the individual micro lenses to get the resulting sub aperture images (similar to LFToolbox if you're familiar), unless lytro does this for you, ie pulling one pixel from each of the lenses gives you one sub aperture image of the resolution 5xx by 3xx (depending on the number of micro lenses).

The Illum has a 40MP(?) sensor, and I assume using their rendering algorithm they get images of at least 4MP when displaying the pictures you've taken with the camera in their software suite, so why not reform your sub aperture images back into the raw micro lens image style (one pixel from each viewpoint going to one micro lens), and render the image similar to how lytro would?

Sorry, did that clear it up at all?

Lytro just applies some superres algorithm to the image (which I don't think is open sourced). You can always apply any superres method to increase the image resolution.
