We explore the application of dense camera arrays to view interpolation across space and time for dynamic scenes. Large video camera arrays are typically synchronized, but we show that staggering camera triggers provides a much richer set of samples on which to base the interpolation. We do not increase the total number of samplesowe merely distribute them more effectively in time. We use optical o w to interpolate new views. Within this framework, we nd that the dense space-time sampling provided by staggered timing improves the robustness of the interpolation. We present an novel optical o w method that combines a plane plus parallax framework with knowledge of camera spatial and temporal offsets to generate o w elds for virtual images at new space-time locations. We present results interpolating video from a 96-camera light eld using this method.
