Compressed video camera with a moving patterned disk

An image capture system configured to capture one or more event images of an event, the system comprising:

• an image sensor configured to receive and record one or more event images of the event as an image sensor frame;
• a processing system configured to process the one or more event images to create reconstructed image frames, the number of reconstructed image frames greater than the number of image sensor frames;
• and
• a patterned substrate having image blocking portions and image passing portions, the patterned substrate configured to be moved between the image sensor and the event to selectively block and pass portions of the event image to the image sensor during the image sensor event.

A method for generating reconstructed image frames that represent a higher frame rate than an image captured by an image sensor during an image sensor frame, the method comprising:

• providing an image sensor, patterned substrate with blocking portions and passing portions, and an event;
• characterizing the patterned substrate with a data processing algorithm;
• placing the patterned substrate between the event and the image sensor;
• moving the patterned substrate relative to the image sensor or the event, or both;
• while moving the patterned substrate, initiating the event and synchronizing image capture by the image sensor with a position of the patterned substrate;
• during the event, capturing one or more image sensor frames with the image sensor of an event image from the event, the image sensor frames represented by image data such that the patterned substrate blocks portions and passes portions of the event image to the image sensor;
• and
• processing the image data with a processing device that includes memory and a processor to execute a data processing algorithm on the image data to create reconstructed image frames.
