VLPov is a set of utilities to use the POV-Ray raytracer in order to generate and analyize Computer Vision datasets.

VLPov consists of two parts: some MATLAB
M-files and the annotation patch patch for
MegaPOV 1.2.1 (a variant of POV-Ray). The source code
archive contains both elements, but, while the first
can be used immediately (just add the M-files directory
to your MATLAB path), the second requries some work, as
explained in the megapov/README.annotation
help file.
Examples
The included annotation patch patch enables MegaPOV to export accurate camera calibration and range data. This can be used to load a synthetic scene together with its structure, such as in the following picture.
The combined depth
map and camera calibration is very useful to find
correspondence among frames of an animation, as
exemplified in this movie.
