Claim:
1. A method for processing light-field data captured by a light-field image capture device having a sensor, a main lens, and a plurality of microlenses, the method comprising: in a processor, receiving light-field data and metadata from the light-field image capture device; in the processor, receiving product calibration data descriptive of a design departure of a main lens design of the main lens from an ideal main lens design; in the processor, receiving unit calibration data descriptive of a manufacturing departure of the main lens from the main lens design; in the processor, using the metadata, the product calibration data, and the unit calibration data to obtain corrected light-field data that at least partially compensates for the design departure and the manufacturing departure; in the processor, using the corrected light-field data during light field processing to create at least one output image; and initiating storage, in a data store, of the at least one output image.
