Programmable Aperture Photography: Multiplexed Light Field Acquisition

I doubt this will get a response, but how long did it take to shoot the successive photos? How many?

You're five years ahead of the rest of the world, by my estimate. I didn't expect to see temporal or aperture resolution increase in DSLR captures until 2014, and commercial availability until 2016. Mad skillz.

DO WANT!!

How long till a consumer camera has this all running in the handheld device?

I really like the effects. How much post processing are we talking about?

Sorry for the late reply. The post-processing includes the calibration (as required by other imaging system) and the depth estimation. Because of the huge data-size (tens to hundreds mega pixels), it takes few hours to generate the high resolution depth maps.

The good thing is, the post-processing is automatic, you don't have to adjust any parameter. The applications (refocusing/view interpolation) can be done in near real-time after the depth maps are generated.

Without post-processing, we can still generate those effects at the same speed (with lower quality). This can provide fast preview for the users.

This is brilliant and excellent work. Keep up the amazing job!
