Abstract
A method is disclosed for producing signals representative of an image of a scene including the following steps: providing an image sensor with a lenticular lens pattern thereon, and projecting the image onto the image sensor via the lenticular lens pattern, the image sensor having a pixel element pattern and the lenticular lens pattern having diamond shaped lenticles and being diagonally oriented with respect to the horizontal scanning direction of the pixel element pattern; and producing image-representative signals by reading out signals from the pixel elements of the image sensor.
