Claim:
1. An electronic device comprising: an image sensor including a plurality of pixel sensors divided into groups; a multi-lens array including a plurality of lenses, the lenses being adapted to each form an image of a scene on a distinct group of the groups of pixel sensors; a filter arrangement, wherein the filter arrangement includes a plurality of color filter elements arranged in rows and columns of a matrix, each color filter element being associated with one of the lenses and the respective distinct group and each color filter element being adapted to filter an image of the scene into one of a plurality of color channels, wherein a first group of the groups of pixel sensors is adapted to define a perspective of the scene for an image reconstruction, and wherein the color filter elements in the row of the color filter element corresponding to said first group and the color filter elements in the column of the color filter element corresponding to said first group are adapted to filter the image of the scene into each of the plurality of color channels; and circuitry connected to the image sensor and adapted to generate a combined image of the scene with the perspective defined by the first group by estimating a disparity of image data of the groups of pixel sensors relative to the perspective defined by the first group.
