Abstract
A depth of field imaging apparatus includes a light field imager and a time of flight imager combined in a single on-chip architecture. This hybrid device enables simultaneous capture of a light field image and a time of flight image of an object scene. Algorithms are described, which enable the simultaneous acquisition of light field images and a time of flight images. Associated hybrid pixel structures, device arrays (hybrid imaging systems), and device applications are disclosed.
