Abstract
A system constructs a composite image using focus assessment information of image regions.
Claims26
-301. (canceled)
A system comprising:
- at least one of a lens or a microlens array;
- a controller configured to at least position at least one of the lens or at least a portion of the microlens array at least at a primary and another position and to cause an image capture signal at least at the primary and the other position;
- and
- an image construction unit configured to at least construct one or more images using at least one of at least a portion of a first image captured at the primary position or at least a portion of another image captured at the other position.

A system comprising:
- at least one of a lens or a microlens array;
- a controller configured to at least position at least one of the lens or at least a portion of the microlens array at least at a primary and another position and to cause an image capture signal at least at the primary and the other position;
- and
- an image construction unit configured to at least construct one or more images using at least one of at least a portion of a first image captured at the primary position or at least a portion of another image captured at the other position.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a photo-detector array;
- a lens having at least one deviation that exceeds a first tolerance from a target optical property;
- a controller configured to position the lens at a primary and another position relative to the photo-detector array and to cause an image capture signal at the primary and the other position;
- and
- an image construction unit configured to construct at least one out-of-focus region of a first image captured at the primary position with a more in-focus region of another image captured at the other position.
