Abstract
An electronic device including: an image sensor including plural sensors divided into groups; a multi-lens array including plural lenses configured to each form an image of a scene on a distinct group of the groups of pixel sensors; and a filter including plural color filter elements arranged in rows and columns. Each color filter element is associated with one of the lenses and the respective distinct group and configured to filter an image of the scene into one of plural color channels. A first group of pixel sensors can define a perspective of the scene for an image reconstruction, and the color filter elements in the row of the color filter element corresponding to the first group and the color filter elements in the column of the color filter element corresponding to the first group can filter the image of the scene into each of the plural color channels.
