Claim:
1. An X×Y sub-array module comprising: an X×Y arrangement of focal planes, wherein: an X×Y arrangement of lens stacks, the X×Y arrangement of lens stacks being disposed relative to the X×Y arrangement of focal planes so as to form an X×Y arrangement of cameras, each of which being configured to independently capture an image of a scene, wherein each lens stack has a field of view that is shifted with respect to the field-of-views of each other lens stack so that each shift includes a sub-pixel shifted view of the scene; image data input circuitry that is capable of receiving image data from a separate sub-array module; and image data output circuitry that is capable of aggregating image data from the X×Y sub-array module with image data received via the image data input circuitry from a separate sub-array module.
