Dense field imaging
First Claim
1. An imaging array, comprising:
- first and second imaging blocks each comprising;
a support; and
at least three imaging elements carried by the support, each imaging element of the at least three imaging elements comprising a lens and an image sensor comprising a plurality of pixels;
wherein the first and second imaging blocks are mounted with respect to one another such that one or more of the support of the first imaging block and the support of second imaging block are movable to adjust an orientation of the first and second imaging blocks relative to one another; and
wherein the image sensor of at least one of the at least three imaging elements of the first imaging block is non-coplanar with the image sensor of at least one of the at least three imaging elements of the second imaging block.

Abstract
Dense field imagers are disclosed which are configured to provide fused and/or stitched light field data for a scene. A dense field imager can include a plurality of imaging elements configured to be joined into image blocks or facets that each provides light field data about a scene. The dense field imager can include a plurality of facets in a fixed or modular fashion such that the dense field imager is configured to fuse and/or stitch light field data from the plurality of facets. The facets can be mounted such that one or more facets are non-coplanar with other facets. The facets can be configured to provide light field data with overlapping fields of view. Accordingly, the dense field imager can provide dense field data over a field of view covered by the plurality of facets.
