There is a trade-off between spatial resolution and angular resolution limits in light field applications; various targeted algorithms have been proposed to enhance angular resolution while ensuring high spatial resolution simultaneously, which is also called view synthesis. Among them, depth estimation-based methods can use only four corner views to reconstruct a novel view at an arbitrary location. However, depth estimation is a time-consuming process, and the quality of the reconstructed novel view is not only related to the number of the input views, but also the location of the input views. In this paper, we explore the relationship between different input view selections with the angular super-resolution reconstruction results. Different numbers and positions of input views are selected to compare the speed of super-resolution reconstruction and the quality of novel views. Experimental results show that the speed of the algorithm decreases with the increase of the input views for each novel view, and the quality of the novel view decreases with the increase of the distance from the input views. After comparison using two input views in the same line to reconstruct the novel views between them, fast and accurate light field view synthesis is achieved.
