The present disclosure relates to the technical field of computer vision and digital image processing, and more particularly to a light field encoded imaging method and apparatus for a scattering scene. The method includes: obtaining scattering light field data, and extracting a refocusing focal stack corresponding to different offset pixels between views from the scattering light field data; transforming an image in the refocusing focal stack into a saturation domain to form a processed focal stack; comparing boundary sharpness degrees of each region in the processed focal stack when refocusing by different offset pixels, and extracting offset pixels corresponding to the sharpest boundary of each region by using a 1-norm operator; and converting the offset pixels into a depth map of a target based on data parameters of the light field.

An image restoration device obtains input data including input image information for each viewpoint, and generates an output image from warped image information generated by warping the input image information using a global transformation information of each viewpoint and disparity information of each viewpoint, using an image restoration model.

The invention relates to multicore fiber imaging, such as used in endoscopy. Methods are described for processing images captured with such systems to achieve an improved depth of field image or extract 3D information concerning the images, without requiring the addition of additional optical components. One method for generating an image from light received by an imager via a multiplicity of waveguides includes receiving a digital image containing a plurality of pixels, the digital image including a plurality of regions within it wherein each of said regions corresponds to a waveguide core. Each region includes a plurality of pixels, and a first subset of pixels within each region is defined which at least partly correlates with light having been received at a corresponding core in a first spatial arrangement, the subset including less than all of the pixels within a region. A first image is generated from the first subset of pixels from said regions, combined to form an image over the whole waveguide array. The first spatial arrangement may correspond to a measure of angular dimension of the incident light for that region. In addition to increased depth of field, the modified images provided by the invention allow 3D visualisation of objects, eg. using stereographs or depth mapping techniques.
