Patent Images
1. A method of transmitting image data, comprising:
- capturing image data using a plurality of active focal planes in a camera module, where an image is formed on each active focal plane by a separate lens stack;
generating lines of image data by interleaving the image data captured by the plurality of active focal planes; and
transmitting the lines of image data and the additional data.

Abstract
Systems and methods for transmitting and receiving image data captured by an imager array including a plurality of focal planes are described. One embodiment of the invention includes capturing image data using a plurality of active focal planes in a camera module, where an image is formed on each active focal plane by a separate lens stack, generating lines of image data by interleaving the image data captured by the plurality of active focal planes, and transmitting the lines of image data and the additional data.

20. A method of receiving image data captured by a camera module, where the camera module captures image data using pixels in a plurality of focal planes, the method comprising:
-
receiving image data from a camera module including a plurality of focal planes using interface circuitry, where the image data comprises lines of image data generated by interleaving pixels from a plurality of images captured using the plurality of focal planes; and identifying the pixels in the image data that are part of at least one of the plurality of images using the interface circuitry. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
