light field descriptor

A light field descriptor is a mathematical representation of the 4D light field data captured by a plenoptic camera or other type of light field camera. It encodes the spatial and angular information of the scene, including the position and orientation of objects, the direction and intensity of light rays, and the depth information of the scene. Light field descriptors are used in various computer vision and graphics applications such as 3D reconstruction, image-based rendering, and virtual reality. They are typically represented as high-dimensional vectors or matrices, and various machine learning techniques are used to extract meaningful features from them for different purposes.
