We assume that the convert*.m files as well as the lib/ directory are placed on the same level as the data. i.e. the folder containing convert*.m and lib/ also contains the folders additional/, stratified/, test/, and training/. You can run
convertAll.m to generate a LF.mat file for each of the scenes.
If you have only downloaded a subset of the dataset you can generate the LF.mat files using
convertBlenderTo5D('FOLDER')The LF.mat includes the light field data (LF.LF), the ground truth (LF.depth/disp_high/lowres), a mask as well as the centerview. All parameters used for generation are loaded from the parameters.cfg and stored in LF.parameters. If you are familiar with the H matrix from Donald Dansereaus "Decoding, Calibration and Rectification for Lenselet-Based Plenoptic Cameras" (http://www-personal.acfr.usyd.edu.au/ddan1654/PlenCal.pdf) the provide the H matrix in LF.H. The distance between the two planes is stored in LF.f, given in [mm]. Please note that this is not the focal length of the respective cameras, which is stored in LF.parameters.intrinsics.focal_length_mm.
To generate point clouds you can either run
[X,Y,Z] = getPointcloud(LF)or
[X,Y,Z] = getPointcloud(LF,'disp',d)Here, LF is the variable as generated by the conversion scripts, i.e. it includes variables like LF, parameters and disp_lowres. If you do not specify a disparity map d, it will visualize the ground truth.
