Method and system for modifying exposure time and aperture of an image in post-processing

A system comprising:

• an imager configured to capture light from an object, wherein the light from the object forms an image on a plurality of pixels, wherein the imager includes:
• an event-based imager module configured to record event-based data associated with the object, wherein the event-based data is associated with changes associated with the light from the object over time on a per pixel basis;
• a light field imager module configured to record angular and light intensity data from the object;
• and
• a processor configured to receive the event-based data and apply a digital coded exposure to generate a response data, wherein application of the digital coded exposure includes a function that modifies one exposure characteristic associated with a subset of pixels from the plurality of pixels of the image to form a modified image wherein the modified image includes the subset of pixels with one exposure characteristic that is different from an exposure characteristic of another subset of pixels of the plurality of pixels.

A system comprising:

• a means for collecting data associated with light from an object wherein the data includes angular and light intensity data associated with features of the object, wherein the light from the object forms an image on a plurality of pixels;
• a means for collecting event-based data associated with the object, wherein the event-based data is associated with changes associated with the light from the object over time on a per pixel basis;
• a means for applying a digital coded exposure to the event-based data to generate a response data, wherein applying the digital coded exposure is based on a function that modifies one exposure time associated with a subset of pixels from the plurality of pixels of the image;
• and
• a means for applying digital refocusing to the response data to modify a depth-in-field associated with some pixels of the plurality of pixels.
