## Abstract

We present a compressed sensing framework for reconstructing the full light field of a scene captured using a single-sensor consumer camera. To achieve this, we use a color coded mask in front of the camera sensor. To further enhance the reconstruction quality, we propose to utilize multiple shots by moving the mask or the sensor randomly. The compressed sensing framework relies on a training based dictionary over a light field data set. Numerical simulations show significant improvements in reconstruction quality over a similar coded aperture system for light field capture.

## Compressive Acquisition

Unlike prior methods that use monochrome masks, here we use a random color mask. To further increase the measurement matrix incoherence, we use multiple shots, each with a different random colored mask. To achieve this, we propose to use a piezo system for rapid mask movement. The sensing model with the color mask, for s shots, can therefore be formulated as To provide flexibility over the trade off between computational complexity and reconstruction quality, we use spatial subsampling in the measurement model. This can be done by a sampling matrix P as follows with \begin{aligned} P \in \mathcal{R}^{r \omega \lambda s} \end{aligned} where r is the sampling ratio, $\lambda$ is the number of color channels, $\omega$ is the view spatial resolution. The light field is reconstructed by solving
