lf_plenoptic_design — LIGHTFIELD depth op

使い方

Size a plenoptic camera: what angular/spatial resolution and depth range you buy.

The plenoptic trade in one table. A microlens spanning mla_pitch_um / pixel_um pixels turns that many pixels into that many directions, so the sensor’s pixel count is unchanged but the image is U*V times smaller and carries U*V viewpoints. This operator composes :mod:optics rather than re-deriving it: optics.thin_lens places the image, and optics.depth_of_field is called twice — once with the pixel pitch as the circle of confusion (the depth of field of a single refocused slice) and once with the microlens pitch (the range over which refocusing can still recover a sharp image). Their ratio is the refocusing gain, and it comes out at the angular resolution, which is the textbook result — measured 2026-09-01 at f = 50 mm, N = 8, s_o = 300 mm: an 8x8 angular grid gives refocus_gain = 8.0038, 10x10 gives 10.0075 and 6x6 gives 6.0016.

Returns a dict — angular_u / angular_v (whole pixels per microlens, from floor) · angular_exact (the unrounded ratio) and pitch_is_integer (whether the MLA pitch is a whole number of pixels; it usually is not, which is why real decoding needs sub-pixel calibration) · spatial_w / spatial_h (microlenses = sub-aperture image size) · n_views · resolution_loss (U*V) · image_mm / magnification / working_distance_mm from the thin lens · aperture_mm (f/N) · baseline_mm (viewpoint spacing across the pupil, aperture / (U - 1)) · focal_px_subaperture (focal length in units of the microlens pitch, the pixel of a sub-aperture image) · dof_pixel_mm / dof_refocus_mm and refocus_gain · and depth_precision_mm, the object-side distance change that moves the disparity by subpixel_px pixels (Z^2 * dp / (focal_px * baseline)) — the honest depth resolution at object_mm.

Raises ValueError: any non-positive or non-finite length, an mla_pitch_um smaller than two pixel_um (fewer than 2 directions is not a light field), a sensor smaller than one microlens, a non-positive subpixel_px, object_mm == focal_mm (propagated from optics.thin_lens: the object images at infinity), and an angular resolution of 1 in either axis, where the baseline would be a 0/0.
