tb_lf_refocus — 2D `typed` op

• Data kinds: lightfield → image

• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "tb_lf_refocus", 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

Shift-and-add refocus: the synthetic-aperture image focused at *slope*.

Every view `(v, u) is shifted by (-s*(v - v_c), -s*(u - u_c))` — the

minus undoes the parallax of a point at slope `s` — and the shifted

views are averaged. Points at that slope add coherently and stay sharp;

everything else is smeared by an amount proportional to its slope

difference times the angular baseline. `slope=0` is the plane the array

was already focused on and returns the plain average of the views.

Ground truth it reproduces exactly (pinned in `tests/test_lightfield.py`):

a single-layer field synthesised at slope `s0 and refocused at s0`

with `edge="wrap" and an integer s0` returns the original texture to

5.6e-16; sweeping the slope, the variance of the result peaks at `s0`

(measured exactly on the sweep grid in all 18 texture/slope combinations

listed in the module docstring), and refocusing at `-s0` does *not* —

which is the check that catches a flipped shift sign.

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

Raises `ValueError`: *lf* not a valid light field, a non-finite or

over-large *slope* (:data:MAX_ABS_SLOPE), unknown *interp* / *edge*.

Typed bridge of the lightfield op `lf_refocus 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.
