Abstract

An electronic apparatus and a method for controlling thereof are provided. The method includes acquiring a first Light field (LF) image of different viewpoints, inputting the first LF image to a first artificial intelligence model to acquire a pixel shift value for converting pixels in the first LF image, converting the pixels in the first LF image according to the pixel shift value to acquire a second LF image, inputting the first LF image and the second LF image to a second artificial intelligence model for converting the LF image to a layer image to acquire the layer image, inputting the acquired layer image to a simulation model for restoring the LF image to acquire a third LF image, and learning the first artificial intelligence model and the second artificial intelligence model based on the second LF image and the third LF image.

acquiring a second LF image set by converting the pixels in the first LF image set according to the pixel shift value;

inputting the first LF image set and the second LF image set to a second artificial intelligence model for converting the LF image sets to a layer image to acquire the layer image;

inputting the acquired layer image to a simulation model for restoring the LF image sets to acquire a third LF image set; and

transmitting, to an external server, learning data for learning the first artificial intelligence model and the second artificial intelligence model based on the second LF image set and the third LF image set.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acquiring of the second LF image set comprises acquiring the second LF image set by moving, according to a pixel shift value corresponding to each of the plurality of view images included in the first LF image set, pixels of each of the plurality of view images.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the acquiring of the second LF image set comprises acquiring a first view image of the second LF image set by moving, according to a first pixel shift value corresponding to a first view image, pixels in the first view image included in the first LF image set.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the acquiring of the first view image of the second LF image set comprises acquiring the first view image of the second LF image set by moving each pixel in the first view image included in the first LF image set according to the sub-pixel shift value included in the first pixel shift value.
