Plenoptic is the capability of something to capture or represent a 5-dimensional lightfield using the plenoptic function.
The plenoptic function is a 5D function that represents a light field in space. For an imaging device, this can be refactored to be a two-plane 4D lightfield.
"Plenoptic", "integral imaging", and "lightfield" refer to the same core phenomenon of light at different angles.
