Light Field Resources

This is a (work in progress) repo for collecting links to data sets, source code, and other resources related to research on light fields for computer vision. This is an open list maintained by the light field community. So please feel encouraged to contribute by adding/updating information or by fixing broken links. You may edit this file directly and make a pull request or send an email to contact(at)lightfield-analysis.net.
