Computational multi-dimensional imaging based on compound-eye optics

Artificial compound-eye optics have been used for three-dimensional information acquisition and display. It also enables us to realize a diversity of coded imaging process in each elemental optics. In this talk, we introduce our single-shot compound-eye imaging system to observe multi-dimensional information including depth, spectrum, and polarization based on compressive sensing. Furthermore it is applicable to increase the dynamic range and field-of-view. We also demonstrate an extended depth-of-field (DOF) cameras based on compound-eye optics. These extended DOF cameras physically or computationally implement phase modulations to increase the focusing range.
