Abstract
Various aspects of a device, such as an imaging device, and method to generate a panoramic image are disclosed herein. The imaging device comprises a micro-lens array configured to capture light-field (LF) data associated with a field-of-view (FOV) of the imaging device. One or more circuits in the imaging device focus on a first subject to determine a first frame. The first frame is based on a first realignment of the stored LF data of the first subject in the FOV. Determination of one or more other frames occurs when the one or more circuits dynamically refocus on one or more other subjects. A panoramic image is generated from a combination of the determined first frame and the determined one or more other frames. The generated panoramic image corresponds to a pseudo three-dimensional image that contributes to the depth perception of the selected one or more subjects.
