This paper presents a comprehensive investigation on how key design features can affect
the performance of a plenoptic camera for single-camera volumetric velocity measurement
technique. It firstly presents the prototyping of an in-house high resolution plenoptic camera;
followed by an introduction to the framework of reconstructing 3D particle images from 2D
light field images. Based on linear optics, a set of synthetic light field images were then
generated by tracing light rays from a point light source to the plenoptic camera sensor …
