Abstract
There is provided in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention an optical assembly including a set of optical paths, wherein two or more optical paths receive an image from a common surface. The optical paths may direct received images onto a common image sensor generating a complex multidimensional data set, an image processing block may extrapolate each of the subset of optical paths printed on the image sensor and may generate a multidimensional data set based on the collected images.
Claims20
An apparatus for acquiring image data sets of a given scene via two or more optical paths, said apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor;
- two or more optical paths directing optical images of the given scene from different angles onto an overlapping segment of said image sensor, thereby encoding the images:
- and
- an image extrapolation block for decoding the encoded images into image data sets representing the given scene from single optical paths.
A method for acquiring image data sets of a given scene via two or more optical paths, comprising:
- directing onto an overlapping area of a common camera image sensor optical images of the given scene from different angles received through each of two or more optical paths, thereby encoding the images;
- and
- decoding the encoded images into image data sets representing the given scene from single optical paths.
