A new light field imaging system based on a liquid crystal diffuser was proposed to address the problem of low spatial bandwidth in conventional light field cameras.Using the light-controlled orientation technique,the electronically adjustable liquid crystal diffuser was prepared for light field imaging by eliminating the impurities and electrostatic defects caused by conventional frictional orientation.The applied voltage was changed to obtain light field information under different voltages.Using the proposed algorithm,the liquid crystal diffuser was adapted to fuse the detailed information under high transmittance and scattered light intensity under low transmittance to obtain high-resolution light field information with balanced light intensity and detail.Compared with the conventional light field imaging system,the proposed method improves the PSNR value of the reconstructed high-resolution light field image by approximately 4.98%.In addition,the proposed method has low cost,simple preparation,convenient implementation,making it suitable for application to cost-effective light field cameras that realize high resolution light field imaging.
