The Raytrix company creates a new dimension in digital photography. Thanks to the combination of innovative plenoptic 4D lightfield camera technology and intelligent image processing software it is now possible to record more scene information compared to standard cameras with only a single shot. The Raytrix 4D lightfield cameras not only record the flat 2D projection of a real 3D scene, but capturing the complete 4D lightfield. Lightfields contain the intensity information of each lightray passing through our 3D space. By capturing this information it is possible to digitally reconstruct the original scene afterwards from different point of views and with arbitrary focus surfaces, i.e. digital refocusing after the fact is one of the powerful features of the new Raytrix camera generation.

Applications of Raytrix cameras

Fields of application Example
Automobile industry 3D realtime sensor
Industrial environment Optical quality inspection, 3D scanning
Research Computational photography, lightfield cameras, plenoptic- & integral cameras
Image processing & pattern recognition Robust edge detection, illumination invariance, 3D reconstruction
Medical application Increasing the depth of field
Microscopy Increasing the depth of field especially of moving objects. Alternative to "depth-of-focus".
Photography Raytrix plugin software for image post processing. Changing the focal plane and defining an arbitrary focal surface after the image has been taken. Sports photography of rapidly moving objects.
Entertainment 3D input sensor device, e.g. for gaming consoles. Alternative to "time-of-flight" cameras (TOF).
Security monitoring Traffic control, 3D reconstruction and identification of suspects.
