A novel multidimensional spatio-temporal signal processing algorithm is proposed for depth-velocity filtering in 5-D light field videos along with a tutorial review of light field video spectra and the general architecture of associated 5-D depth-velocity filters. A 5-D FIR filter having a hyperfan-shaped passband which can selectively enhance the spectra of moving objects in light field videos based on their depth and motion trajectory is employed. A 5-D hyperfan-shaped passband is highly desired to achieve enhanced spatio-temporal selectivity over a wide range of lower frequencies. Experimental results are provided by using a light field videos captured using a Lytro light-field camera and mean structural similarity index is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed 5-D FIR hyperfan depth-velocity filter.
