Claim:
1. A camera system comprising: a wavefront sensor configured to spatially sample wavefronts of light from at least a portion of an object space to obtain the intensity of the wavefronts and associated angular propagation directions of the wavefronts in order to obtain a first light-field image; an image sensor that is not associated with the wavefront sensor, the image sensor being configured to spatially sample light from the object space to obtain a first intensity reference image, wherein the first intensity reference image is not a light-field image; and a processor configured to compute a second light-field image from the first light-field image using information from the first intensity reference image, the second light-field image having an enhanced resolution that is greater than that of the first light-field image.
