1. A method comprising the steps of:
- retrieving data representing a light field with a plenoptic capture device;
executing program code for matching the retrieved data with corresponding reference data;
executing program code for retrieving at least one annotation in a plenoptic format associated with an element of said reference data;
executing program code for generating annotated data in a plenoptic format from said retrieved data and said annotation.

Abstract
A method comprising the steps of:
- retrieving data (100) representing a light field with a plenoptic capture device (4);
- executing program code for matching the retrieved data with corresponding reference data (101);
- executing program code for retrieving at least one annotation (61, 63, 64) in a plenoptic format associated with an element of said reference data (102);
- executing program code for generating annotated data in a plenoptic format from said retrieved data and said annotation (103).

18. An apparatus for capturing and annotating data corresponding to a scene, comprising:
-
a plenoptic capturing device for capturing data representing a light field; a processor; a display; programme code for causing said processor to retrieve at least one annotation in a plenoptic format associated with an element of data captured with said plenoptic capturing device and for rendering on said display a view generated from the captured data and including said at least one annotation in plenoptic format when said program code is executed. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. An apparatus for determining annotations, comprising:
-
a processor; a store; program code for causing said processor to retrieve data representing a light field, to match said retrieved data with one reference data, to determine from said store an annotation in plenoptic format associated with said reference data, and to send either said annotation in plenoptic format or an annotated image in plenoptic format to a remote device when said program code is executed. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. A method comprising the steps of:
-
retrieving data representing a light field; sending the retrieved data to a remote server; receiving from said server either an annotation in plenoptic format or an annotated image in plenoptic format.

25. A method for attaching annotations to a reference image in plenoptic format, comprising:
-
presenting said reference image in a plenoptic format with a viewer; selecting an annotation; selecting with said viewer a position for said annotation and one or a plurality of directions from which said annotation can be seen; associating in a memory said position and said directions with said annotation and said reference image in plenoptic format. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28)

29. An apparatus for attaching annotations to a reference image in plenoptic format, comprising:
-
a processor; programme code for causing said processor to present said reference image in a plenoptic format with a viewer (150);
to allow an user to select an annotation (151), as well as a position for said annotation (152) and one or a plurality of directions from which said annotation can be seen (153);a memory storing said annotation, said position and said directions.
