From Alternate Exposure Imaging To 3D Reconstruction of Astronomical Phenomena

Microoptics in the form of a lens array can be used for reconstructing the light field captured by a single camera. But to go beyond this classical approach new recording modalities and prior knowledge are required for faithful 3D reconstruction. In this talk we will motivate the usage of alternate exposure imaging for dense motion estimation and shape priors for 3D reconstruction for this task based on our recent work in the field of optical flow estimation and 3D reconstruction of astronomical nebulae.
