A 4D Light-Field Dataset & CNN Architectures for Material Recognition
We introduce a new light-field dataset of materials and take advantage of the recent success of deep learning to perform material recognition on the 4D light field. Our dataset contains 12 material categories, each with 100 images taken with a Lytro Illum, from which we extract about 30,000 patches in total. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first mid-size dataset for light-field images.
