lf_views — LIGHTFIELD views op

Data kinds: lightfieldimages

Call: import lightfield; lightfield.lf_views(lf) (or opslightfield.get("lf_views"))

Usage

The whole angular grid as a plain list of 2-D images (row-major over `(v, u)`).

The bridge to the rest of fullseye: the returned `list of V*U`

`(H, W) arrays is the images` type, so multi-image operators

(registration, fusion, statistics, :mod:focus_stack's machinery) consume a

light field with no adapter. Ordering is `v outer, u` inner, i.e.

`views[v*U + u] == lf[v, u]`; each entry is a copy, so mutating one does

not corrupt the field.

Raises `ValueError`: *lf* is not a valid light field.
