1. A method for light field acquisition by a device including a processor, comprising:
- acquiring, by the processor, an image from an optical arrangement with chromatic aberrations;
separating by the processor, said image into a plurality of monochromatic images, each having a different color and a different point of focus according to said acquiring;
transporting, by the processor, sharpness from each of said plurality of monochromatic images to others of said plurality of monochromatic images to construct a plurality of color images, each color image of said plurality of color images having a different point of focus; and
reconstructing, by the processor, a light field by combining said plurality of color images.

10. A method for light field reconstruction acquisition by a device including a processor, comprising:
-
acquiring, by the processor, a plurality of color images, each having a different point of focus; performing, by the processor, a two-dimensional Fourier transform on each of said plurality of color images to create a plurality of transformed color images; calculating, by the processor, an inverted light field by pseudo-inversing each frequency for each of said plurality of transformed color images; and performing, by the processor, a two-dimensional inverse Fourier transform on said inverted light field to create a true light field. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus for light field acquisition, comprising:
-
an optical arrangement with chromatic aberrations, configured to acquire an image; a storage configured to store instructions therein; a processor that, when executing the instructions, is configured to; separate said image to a plurality of monochromatic images, each having a different color and a different point of focus according to said acquiring, construct a plurality of color images, each color image of said plurality of color images having a different point of focus, by transporting sharpness from of said plurality of monochromatic images to others of said plurality of monochromatic images, and reconstruct the light field by combining said plurality of color images. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
