Abstract

Embodiments of the subject application disclose various light field capture control methods and apparatuses and various light field capture devices, wherein one light field capture control method comprises: acquiring depth information of a to-be-shot scene; determining target pixel density distribution information of an image sensor of a light field camera according to the depth information; adjusting pixel density distribution of the image sensor according to the target pixel density distribution information; and performing, by the adjusted image sensor, light field capture of the to-be-shot scene. The technical solution provided in the embodiments of the subject application can make full use of overall pixels of the image sensor of the light field camera to unevenly record light field information of different regions of the to-be-shot scene in a depth of field (DOF) direction, thereby improving light field capture efficiency.
