SMART: a Light Field image quality dataset

Description

The availability of an image dataset is useful for design, testing, and benchmarking Light Field image processing algorithms. As first step, the image content selection criteria have been defined based on selected image quality key-attributes, i.e. spatial information, colorfulness, texture key features, depth of field, etc. Next, image scenes have been selected and captured by using the Lytro Illum Light Field camera. Performed analysis shows that the considered set of images is sufficient for addressing a wide range of attributes relevant to assess Light Field image quality. 16 LF images are included in the SMART LF dataset. The images are from both indoor and outdoor category, and cover general image content related features (colorfulness, spatial information, and texture) but also LF specific aspects such as reflection, transparency and depth of field variation.

Access

The files are available for download from Onedrive (7.2 GB): Direct link

The subjective scores of the dataset are available here BT_score. For the sake of clarity, the rows and the columns are the id of the light field and the distortion, respectively.
