Abstract

In an example embodiment, a method, apparatus and computer program product are provided. The method includes facilitating receipt of a plurality of light-field images of a scene captured in a burst capture by a light-field camera. The method includes determining shifts between images of the plurality of light-field images, where the shifts between the images of the plurality of light-field images are associated with shake of the light-field camera while capturing the plurality of light-field images. The method includes generating a plurality of depth maps for the plurality of light-field images, and generating a set of view images of the scene based on the plurality of light-field images and the plurality of depth maps. The method includes generating a refocus image by combining the set of view images based at least on the shifts between the images of the plurality of light-field images.
