Abstract
Embodiments of the subject application disclose various light field capture control methods and apparatuses and various light field capture devices, wherein one of the light field capture control methods comprises: determining at least one sub-lens, which affects light field capture of a first region, in a sub-lens array of a light field camera, the first region being a local part of a to-be-shot scene; determining a to-be-adjusted region of an image sensor of the light field camera according to the at least one sub-lens; adjusting pixel density distribution of the image sensor, to cause average pixel density distribution of the to-be-adjusted region to be distinguished from that of other regions of the image sensor; 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 improves light field capture efficiency while making full use of overall pixels of the image sensor, and can better meet users' diversified actual application demands.
