It describes and explains its fundamentals, the reasoning behind and its planned uses. It then covers the whole two-dimensional sparse interpolation problem by describing various methods, then used to provide impressive omnidirectional views.interpolationplenopticpanopticpolydioptriccameraomnidirectionalirregular interpolationsparse interpolationsteering kernel interpolationnearest neighbour interpolationLTS2panopticstudent work::master thesis
