Think about this for a second.  The light field allows you to
determine the focus of an image from near to far.  It is obvious that
with some linear algebra a quite detailed depth buffer could be
obtained.  I mean, you could do it by hand just by adjusting the depth
and tracing the objects in focus.  A little math could do that too and
I'm almost certain it could do it better.
