A 5-D IIR depth-velocity filter for enhancing objects moving on linear-trajectories in light field videos

A 5-D IIR depth-velocity filter is proposed for enhancing objects moving on linear trajectories, with constant velocity and at constant depth, in light field videos (also known as plenoptic videos). The passband of the proposed filter is a plane in the 5-D frequency domain and is realized by cascading three first-order 5-D IIR filters having 4-D hyperplanar passbands of appropriate orientations. Numerical simulation results are presented to confirm the performance of the proposed filter.
