The Light Field Engine downloads encompass everything you need to control your light field cameras and process the light field raw data to obtain 2D images and 3D depth maps. The downloads are ordered by the major release version. We strive to allow for parallel installs of different major versions but this is not always possible. Please contact us for details.
Important note for developers: The C/C++/.NET API/SDK and the MVTec Halcon plugins contain breaking changes between major versions. That is, you will have to adapt your application program when you migrate to a different major version of the light field engine.
