Abstract:
The introduced method and system use a 4-dimensional (4D) light field as a background of a scene, instead of 2D background image. Realizing computing a light field takes tremendous amounts of processing power, data storage and time (even with the currently available hardware), the introduced method and system compute and store the light field before rendering a scene. To reduce the time storing and accessing the light field during the rendering process, the introduced method and system also uses a modified video codec to compress and decompress the light field as 2D images.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of rendering, comprising:\n receiving information about a scene to be rendered, said information including foreground information that represents a foreground of said scene and a 4-dimensional (4D) light field that represents a background of said scene; casting rays into said scene to simulate an interaction of light with said foreground and said background of said scene; and determining a contribution of said background to said interaction by employing values of said 4D light field at intersecting points with said rays.
