Abstract:
Light-field data is masked to identify regions of interest, before applying to deep learning models. In one approach, a light-field camera captures a light-field image of an object to be classified. The light-field image includes a plurality of views of the object taken simultaneously from different viewpoints. The light-field image is pre-processed, with the resulting data provided as input to a deep learning model. The pre-processing includes determining and then applying masks to select regions of interest within the light-field data. In this way, less relevant data can be excluded from the deep learning model. Based on the masked data, the deep learning model produces a decision classifying the object.

Claim (Index 19):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable computer program instructions for classifying an object, the instructions executable by a processor and causing the processor to perform a method comprising:\n receiving a light-field image of the object, the light-field image comprising a plurality of views of the object taken simultaneously from different viewpoints; pre-processing the light-field image to produce derivative image data, the pre-processing comprising:\n determining masking to select regions of interest within the light-field image, and \n applying the masking; and \n applying the derivative image data as input to a deep learning model, the deep learning model producing a decision classifying the object.
