Watermarking scheme for microlens-array-based four-dimensional light field imaging

This paper proposes a watermark scheme for lenslet-based light field imaging operating on its 4D Fourier domain. In this scheme, the computational light field of the 2D watermark is first obtained. A slice of its frequency spectrum is then generated. After that, the watermark is embedded into the host light field by slice displacement. The experimental simulations show that the proposed scheme is simple in complexity while the robustness is strong. In addition, it does not bring significant artifacts or distortion into the refocused image or the depth map.
