Abstract
A system for implementing and utilizing a lens array in an electronic device includes a sensor array coupled to the electronic device for capturing image data corresponding to a photographic target. The lens array includes a plurality of lenses that each has a different respective principal focal length to transmit reflected light from the photographic target to the sensor array. The sensor array captures a set of MFP images that each corresponds with a respective one of the lenses in the MFP lens array. The electronic device may further include an image processor that performs one or more digital signal processing procedures on the captured MFP images to thereby generate a rendered final image.
