Light field cameras, sometimes called “plenoptic cameras,” are used for a form of computational photography that captures information about the intensity and direction light rays are traveling in a scene. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory evaluated commercial off‐the‐shelf light field camera systems from Raytrix and Lytro. This paper describes how light field cameras work, discusses the author’s experience with the systems, proposes potential benefits they may offer for safeguards applications, and identifies limitations that would have to be addressed.
