Plenoptic Toolbox 2.0

The Plenoptic Toolbox 2.0 aims to help promote research using Focused Plenoptic Cameras (a.k.a. Plenoptic 2.0), providing a dataset of real and synthetic images.

Code

Inside the python folder there are all information regarding the code structure and how to use it, with some sample that can be used as a reference. Code is developed in Python with some parts connected to C via Cython. The code is completely open source and can be integrated and further developed for research projects. The python library allows you to work with such images (in particular with Raytrix images at the moment).

For a more detailed explanation on how to use it, please refer to the python page. To see what can already be done, check the sample page!

Here there are reference to some dataset we are creating for different applications

Plenoptic 2.0 Images

Real Images

Plant Image	Plant Depth	Dragon Image	Dragon Depth

Synthetic Images

Alley	Alley Depth	Coffee Image	Coffee Depth

The Dataset containing the images (for reasons of space cannot be provided here) is available here

The Google Drive folder contains real images taken with Raytrix Cameras (R29 and R42) and Synthetic Images (generated with Blender) along with the corresponding calibration or configuration file needed to work on the images.
