Cover Story: X-ray plenoptic cameras acquire multi-view X-ray transmission images in a single exposure (light field). Their development is challenging: designs have appeared only recently, and they are still affected by important limitations. Concurrently, the lack of available real X-ray light field data hinders dedicated algorithmic development. We present a physical emulation setup for rapidly exploring the parameter space of both existing and conceptual camera designs. This will assist and accelerate the design of X-ray plenoptic imaging solutions, and allow one to generate unlimited real X-ray plenoptic data. We also demonstrate that X-ray light fields enable the reconstruction of sharp spatial structures in three dimensions from single-shot data. This confirms that X-ray plenoptic cameras will lead to breakthroughs in a wide range of application areas. View this paper.
