A sensor is configured to acquire a light field by imaging a scene. A processor is configured to determine four-dimensional (4D) coordinates of points in a light field and generate dollied coordinates from the 4D coordinates based on a dolly transform and a dolly parameter. The processor is also configured to project rays associated with the dollied coordinates from the light field onto corresponding points in an output raster. In some cases, the processor applies an aperture function to filter the rays in the coordinate system of the dollied coordinates. The aperture function has a first value in a first region of an aperture plane and the aperture value has a second value in a second region of the aperture plane. Rays passing through the first region are accepted by the aperture function and rays passing through the second region are rejected.
