Principle of DFI-based ambiguity reduction. The o-ray keeps the original blur radius 𝑅𝑜, while the LC lens changes the e-ray blur radius 𝑅𝑒. The solid curve denotes 𝑅𝑜, the dashed curve denotes 𝑅𝑒, the vertical dotted lines mark two depths with the same o-ray blur radius, and the horizontal dotted line marks that shared blur-radius level. When selected properly, the pair (𝑅𝑜,𝑅𝑒) is more discriminative than a single blur radius.
