tb_lf_center_view — 2D typed op

• Data kinds: lightfield → image

• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "tb_lf_center_view", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

*No figure: this op takes lightfield as input. A Studio program starting from an image cannot reach that type — see the runnable examples below for how it is used.*

Usage

The centre viewpoint — the ordinary 2-D image a plenoptic camera also gives.

For odd `V and U` the centre is a single view and both modes return it

exactly. For an even axis the centre falls *between* two views, and this

operator does not pretend otherwise:

• `mode="average"` (default) returns the mean of the 2 (or 4) views

straddling the centre — the correctly-centred estimate for a Lambertian

scene, at the cost of a slight blur proportional to the disparity.

• `mode="nearest" returns the single view at floor((N-1)/2)`, which

is sharp but sits half an angular step off centre; every disparity

measured against it carries that half-step bias.

Returns a `(H, W)` 2-D image.

Raises `ValueError`: *lf* not a valid light field, unknown *mode*.

Typed bridge of the lightfield op `lf_center_view into the 2-D evolution registry: the same implementation, called under the op(v, a, b) convention. This op has no tunable parameter; a and b` are unused.
