Development and Application of Light-Field Cameras in Fluid Measurements

This book provides a comprehensive guide to 3D Light-Field camera based imaging, exploring the working principles, developments and its applications in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics measurements. 

It begins by discussing the fundamentals of Light-Field imaging and theoretical resolution analysis, before touching upon the detailed optics design and micro-lens array assembly. Subsequently, Light-Field calibration methods that compensate for optical distortions and establish the relations between the image and real-word 3D coordinates are covered. This is followed by Light-Field 3D reconstruction algorithms which are elaborated for micrometer-scale particles and centimeter-scale physical models. Last but not least, implementations of the preceding procedures to selected fundamental and applied flow measurement scenarios are provided at the end of the book. 

Development and Application of Light-Field Cameras in Fluid Measurements gives an in-depth analysis of each topic discussed, making it ideal as both an introductory and reference guide for researchers and postgraduates interested in 3D flow measurements.

本書提供了關於基於3D光場相機的影像拍攝的全面指南，探討了其工作原理、發展以及在流體力學和空氣動力學測量中的應用。

首先，本書討論了光場影像學的基礎知識和理論解析能力，然後介紹了詳細的光學設計和微透鏡陣列組裝。接著，介紹了光場校準方法，用於補償光學失真並建立影像和真實世界3D坐標之間的關係。然後，詳細介紹了用於微米級粒子和厘米級實體模型的光場3D重建算法。最後，本書提供了將上述程序應用於選定的基礎和應用流體測量場景的實現。

《光場相機在流體測量中的發展與應用》對每個討論的主題進行了深入分析，使其成為對3D流體測量感興趣的研究人員和研究生的入門和參考指南。
