1. An array camera module comprising:

  • a lens stack array comprising at least two lens stacks, where at least one lens stack comprises an adaptive optical element that can adjust the characteristics of the transmission of light in the optical channel defined by the corresponding lens stack in response to at least one electrical signal;

    a sensor comprising a focal plane for each lens stack within the lens stack array, where each focal plane comprises a plurality of rows of pixels that also form a plurality of columns of pixels and each focal plane is contained within a region of the sensor that does not contain pixels from another focal plane; and

    circuitry configured to control at least one adaptive optical element;

    wherein the lens stack array and the sensor are configured so that each lens stack can form an image on a corresponding focal plane.
