Abstract
Designs for a light field otoscope are disclosed. An example light field otoscope includes an objective lens group, relay optics and a plenoptic sensor (e.g., microlens array and sensor array). The objective lens group images an interior of a human ear and is characterized by a pupil plane and an image plane. The relay optics is positioned between the objective lens group and the plenoptic sensor. It relays the image plane to the microlens array and relays the pupil plane to the sensor array.
