tb_lf_subaperture — 2D typed op

Data kinds: lightfieldimage

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "tb_lf_subaperture", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

tb_lf_subaperture: input → output

*The figure is the actual output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output. Point clouds are drawn as a top-down scatter (brightness = z), 1-D series as a line plot, volumes as the maximum-intensity projection along z, videos as the middle frame, complex images as magnitude; return values that are not pictures are shown as the values themselves.*

*Knob a does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*

*Knob b does not change the output (measured: identical at 0.1 / 0.5 / 0.9).*

Usage

One sub-aperture view — the image seen through one point of the pupil.

Returns a copy of `L[v, u] as a plain (H, W)` 2-D image, so every

other fullseye image operator applies to it unchanged. Indices are

not wrapped: a negative or out-of-range index is a `ValueError`, not a

silent Python wrap-around to the opposite corner of the pupil (which is the

single easiest way to get a mirrored disparity sign downstream).

Raises `ValueError`: *lf* not a valid light field, and *v* / *u* not

an int in `[0, V) / [0, U)`.

Typed bridge of the lightfield op `lf_subaperture into the 2-D evolution registry: the same implementation, called under the op(v, a, b) convention. This op has no tunable parameter; a and b` are unused.

References (sample data, literature)

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.

Runnable examples (verified samples that actually call this op)

The examples below call the underlying ledger op lf_subaperture. This bridge op is the same implementation adapted to the fn(v, a, b) convention, so the behaviour carries over unchanged (only the call form differs).
