The code for training, extraction of network weights, quantization and Huffman coding will be released upon paper acceptance.

We provide pretrained models for four synthetic HCI scenes (hci.zip), four realworld scenes captured using Lytro camera (lytro.zip), and three challenging scenes (challenging.zip). Users can download them via PanBaidu or Google Drive, then create a new folder named 'results' and put the unzipped files into it.

We offer seven models for each scene, including ($c_m$, $c_d$)={(2,48),(2,63),(2,78),(2,93),(2,123),(2,153),(2,183)}, where each model corresponds to a specific architecture setting. For instance, 'checkpoints_c50_a1' indicates that the number of channels for the modulator $c_m/2$ in each angular direction is 1, and the total number of channels for both modulator and descriptor is 50 (the number of channels for the descriptor $c_d$ is calculated as 50-2*1=48).

To launch the generation of the light fields (decoding), users should first configure the file 'batch_infer.py' as follows:

• Lines 41-43: Specify the target light fields to be generated along with their spatial resolution. For example: scene_list = [['boxes', 512, 512]].
• Lines 45-47: Define the target network architecture. For example: architecture_list = [[[50]*5, [1]*5]], this setting corresponds to the checkpoint 'checkpoints_c50_a1'.

After configuring the above settings, users can simply launch the simulation by executing:

python batch_infer.py

The generated light fields will be accessible in the folder 'results/lf_name/test_cxx_axx'.
