Requirements

Ubuntu 16.04

Matlab 2017b (some files are compiled under it)

Matconvnet

Cuda, Cudnn

---

Usage

1.Download the Matconvnet package from here.

Unzip it and copy it to the "Lib" folder. Then follow the MatConvNet installation instruction to set it up properly. Please compile MatConvNet with GPU and Cuda support to have the best performance. Otherwise, please set the appropriate flags in the "InitParam.m" file accordingly. A pre-complied GPU version with Cuda8.0 is provided.

2.Dowload the training and test data from HCI dataset.

Unzip the data and put them to a certain folder and set the corresponding parameters in "InitParam.m".

3.For Unsupervised Depth Estimation from Light Field Using a Convolutional Neural Network (3DV2018), please change to './3DV2018' and execute corresponding files according to the README.md

4.For Zero-shot Depth Estimation From Light Field Using A Convolutional Neural Network (TCI2020), please change to './TCI2020' and execute corresponding files according to the README.md
