According to Wikipedia, "Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images and patterns of electromagnetic radiant imagery and other phenomena."

I'd say that this research is in the field of photogrammetry.



I guess I meant how it compares to the commercial photogrammetry software out there.


As mentioned in another comment, traditional photogrammetry software typically generates a 3D polygonal mesh.

It looks like this generates a light field, which is not something that traditional 3D software handles directly.


I don't know! I'm not familiar enough with the field to say.
