Dynamic Adjustment of Multimode Lightfield Imaging System Using Exposure Condition and Filter Position

An adjustable multimode lightfield imaging system comprising:

• an optical module that forms an optical image of an object, the optical module characterized by imaging optics, a pupil plane and an image plane;
• a filter array positioned approximately at the pupil plane, the filter array moveable relative to the optical module;
• an array of micro-imaging elements positioned approximately at the image plane;
• a detector array positioned such that the micro-imaging elements image the filter array onto the detector array, the detector array capturing a multimode image of the object according to an exposure condition;
• and
• a controller that adjusts the exposure condition in response to a position of the filter array.
