Angular‐flexible network for light field image super‐resolution

Abstract Light field (LF) cameras capture scenes from multiple views and provide additional angular information for image super‐resolution (SR). Existing CNN‐based LF image SR methods commonly develop specific models for different angular resolutions. However, since the angular resolution can vary s...
