Abstract Current light field (LF) occlusion removal approaches usually select only a part of sub-aperture images (SAIs) or simply stack all SAIs to reconstruct the center view, which destroys the spatial layout of SAIs. In this paper, we present a simple yet effective LF occlusion removal method name Mask4D, which is a 4D convolution based encoder-decoder network. We propose to keep the spatial layout of SAIs and construct all SAIs as a 5D input tensor to fully exploit the spacial connection information between SAIs. In particular, except for center view reconstruction, we jointly predict the occlusion mask to disentangle the occlusion mask from the occluded content. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that our Mask4D surpasses the state-of-the-art approaches across dif- ferent datasets. Moreover, visualizations show that Mask4D predicts the occlusion mask precisely and the reconstructed center view looks more realistic than other approaches. Our code will be publicly available.
