1. A computer implemented method for acquiring and displaying light fields, comprising, the steps of:
- reconstructing, according to an acquisition parameterization, a continuous light field from input samples of an input light field of a three dimensional scene acquired by a plurality of cameras;
reparameterizing, according to a display parameterization, the continuous light field; and
prefiltering the reparameterized light field and sampling the prefiltered light field to produce output samples having the display parametrization, and displaying the output samples as an output light field using a three dimensional display device.

Abstract
A method and system acquire and display light fields. A continuous light field is reconstructed from input samples of an input light field of a 3D scene acquired by cameras according to an acquisition parameterization. The continuous light is reparameterized according to a display parameterization and then prefiltering and sampled to produce output samples having the display parametrization. The output samples are displayed as an output light field using a 3D display device.
