Abstract
Systems and methods for image data compression in an array camera are disclosed. An array camera includes a processor, an array of cameras, and a compression module. The compression module is configured to receive image data from the array of pixels of a focal plane in a sequentially linear group of pixel data, analyze the received image data based upon truncation rules, compress the received data image based upon the analysis to generate compressed image data, and generate a bit mask identifying truncated image data in the compressed image data.
