The purpose of this project was to digitally simulate refocusing and aperture adjustment using a set of images taken from a grid of sensors and very simple calculations.
Images were shifted as a function of their offset from the center, and scaled by an alpha that rolled from a start to a stop (within -1.0 to 1.0).
Starting from the center image, each frame consists of the addition of the set of next closest images.
Capturing a large amount of data with specialized equipment allows for a lot to be done. More complicated optical equations can have simple solutions.
