Abstract:
1. An imaging device comprising: an array camera having at least M×N cameras, where each of M and N is at least two, the array camera producing M×N images, wherein the array camera includes N groups of M cameras; and an image processor operatively coupled to the array camera, the image processor configured to: for each group of M cameras, parallax converge the images from the group of M cameras based on a different predefined offset point within a predefined sampling pattern, producing N group outputs; parallax converge the N group outputs based on the different predefined offset points within the predefined sampling pattern to create a color sub-pixel sampling pattern; parallax converge luminance output of all cameras within the array camera to the predefined sampling pattern to create a luminance sub-pixel sampling pattern; create a super resolution image by:
