Calibration for a plenoptic imaging system. The plenoptic imaging system includes a detector array that is subdivided into superpixels. A plenoptic image captured by the detector array of the plenoptic imaging system is accessed. For a row of superpixels, a slice is selected through the row, the selected slice having a Fourier transform with a stronger fundamental component compared to other slices through the row. A pitch of the row of superpixels is determined based on a frequency of the fundamental component of the selected slice. A rotation of the row of superpixels is determined based on a rotation of the selected slice.
