Abstract
A method is disclosed for producing signals representative of an image of a scene including the following steps: providing an image sensor with a lenticular lens pattern thereon, and projecting the image onto the image sensor via the lenticular lens pattern, the image sensor having a pixel element pattern and the lenticular lens pattern having diamond shaped lenticles and being diagonally oriented with respect to the horizontal scanning direction of the pixel element pattern; and producing image-representative signals by reading out signals from the pixel elements of the image sensor.
Claims14
A method for producing video signals representative of an image of a scene, comprising the steps of:
- providing an image sensor having a pixel pattern comprising diamond shaped groups of sub-pixels;
- providing a color filter pattern comprising a sub-pixel pattern of colors over each group of sub-pixels;
- providing a lenticular lens array, and projecting the image onto the image sensor via said lenticular lens array and said color filter pattern, the lenticular lens pattern of said lenticular lens array having a diamond-shaped lenticle for each sub-pixel and being diagonally oriented with respect to the horizontal scanning direction of said pixel element pattern;
- and
- producing image-representative video signals by reading out signals from the pixel elements of said image sensor.
