Abstract

In a method and system for imaging using multiple apertures, the present invention uses an array of lens elements to form the aperture for a high resolution imaging system. The light from each lens element is properly phased and reduced in volume to form a compact imaging system that captures images with higher resolution possible with each individual element, potentially the resolution will correspond to an aperture equivalent to the size of the lens array.
