The white images are provided as 16-bit PNG files and each white image is uniquely identified by a 8-digit hex code. For every white image, a .csv file is provided containing the microlens center position (in camera coordinates, in meters) where z=0 corresponds to the main lens plane. The sensor position (which is equal to the image distance of the camera configuration) can be calculated from the metadata which is provided in the .metadata file of each white image which is correpsonds to the JSON format. The metadata file provides:

• the sensor size in px

• the pixel pitch in m

• the focus distance in m

• the main lens radius in m

• the microlens radius in m

• the camera's f-number

• the microlens array rotation angle in rad

• the amount of grid noise
