1. An apparatus for acquiring image data sets of a given scene via two or more optical paths, said apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor;
two or more optical paths directing optical images of the given scene from different angles onto an overlapping segment of said image sensor, thereby encoding the images; and
an image extrapolation block for decoding the encoded images into image data sets representing the given scene from single optical paths.

Abstract
There is provided in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention an optical assembly including a set of optical paths, wherein two or more optical paths receive an image from a common surface. The optical paths may direct received images onto a common image sensor generating a complex multidimensional data set, an image processing block may extrapolate each of the subset of optical paths printed on the image sensor and may generate a multidimensional data set based on the collected images.
