Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A camera array, an imaging device and/or a method for capturing image that employ a plurality of imagers fabricated on a substrate is provided. Each imager includes a plurality of pixels. The plurality of imagers include a first imager having a first imaging characteristics and a second imager having a second imaging characteristics. The images generated by the plurality of imagers are processed to obtain an enhanced image compared to images captured by the imagers. Each imager may be associated with an optical element fabricated using a wafer level optics (WLO) technology.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of synthesizing a higher resolution image from a plurality of images captured from different viewpoints, comprising: normalizing a set of images using calibration data stored in a storage device using an address conversion module, where the set of images comprises a plurality of images that are: captured from different viewpoints; include different occlusions sets; wherein the occlusion set of a first image is the portion of a scene visible in…
