Abstract
A system for imaging a scene includes a capturing unit to capture two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional information of the scene, the information including light waves from the scene; a first diffractive optical element to receive the light waves from the capturing unit; a waveguide to forward the light waves received by the first diffractive optical element, the first diffractive optical element additionally to couple the light waves into the optical waveguide; and a second diffractive optical element to couple the light waves forwarded by the optical waveguide out of the optical waveguide. The system additionally includes a first image sensor and at least one second image sensor to capture the light waves coupled out of the optical waveguide and to generate first image data and second image data therefrom. The first image sensor and the second image sensor are in a region paired with the second diffractive optical element.
