Abstract
Described are embodiments of a multi-layer giga-pixel plenoptic camera that enable three-dimensional (3D) light-field imaging, high resolution and large field-of-view. In embodiments, the camera includes a radiation conversion array layer, an optics array layer, a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor array layer, and a memory layer. Depending on the embodiment, the sequence of the radiation conversion array layer and the optics array layer may be reversed, and/or additional isolation layers may be provided between some of the layers. Applications can span the visible light spectrum, and can include ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) spectra. In an embodiment, applications can span x-ray spectra and gamma ray spectra. Radiation converters in the radiation conversion array layer can be filters or scintillation converters. Optics in the optics array layer can be lenses or pinholes and/or coded apertures.
