  Light field imaging extends the traditional photography by capturing both
spatial and angular distribution of light, which enables new capabilities,
including post-capture refocusing, post-capture aperture control, and depth
estimation from a single shot. Micro-lens array (MLA) based light field cameras
offer a cost-effective approach to capture light field. A major drawback of MLA
based light field cameras is low spatial resolution, which is due to the fact
that a single image sensor is shared to capture both spatial and angular
information. In this paper, we present a learning based light field enhancement
approach. Both spatial and angular resolution of captured light field is
enhanced using convolutional neural networks. The proposed method is tested
with real light field data captured with a Lytro light field camera, clearly
demonstrating spatial and angular resolution improvement.
