Abstract
A method and system is provided for refocusing images captured by a plenoptic camera. In one embodiment the plenoptic camera is in processing with an audio capture device. The method comprises the steps of determining direction of a dominant audio source associated with an image; creating an audio zoom by filtering out all other audio signals except those associated with said dominant audio source; and performing automatic refocusing of said image based on said created audio zoom.
