1. A sensing device comprising:

  • a plurality of sensors having distinct focal planes to capture light intensity values and light direction information of incoming light, each sensor comprising a plurality of sensor pixels, each sensor pixel having a sensor pixel field of view, the plurality of sensors being arranged on a support of predetermined shape to acquire light from directions observable by the plurality of sensors; and

    ;

    an image constructor configured to generate, for each of a plurality of image pixels, an image pixel observation direction, the image pixel observation direction being a viewing direction from the image pixel for which an image pixel intensity value of the image pixel is determined;

    a sensor pixel position generator configured to determine, for each image pixel observation direction, at least one sensor pixel having the image pixel observation direction in or closest to its sensor pixel field of view, and further configured to determine a corresponding sensor pixel intensity value of the at least one sensor pixel; and

    an image pixel intensity generator configured to determine the image pixel intensity value for the image pixel observation direction of each image pixel based on the corresponding sensor pixel intensity value of the at least one sensor pixel.
