Patent ID: 7777781

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: a motion sensor that includes a first optical sensor device configured to capture a first image corresponding to a first portion of an imaged object, and a second optical sensor device configured to substantially simultaneously capture a second image corresponding to a second portion of the imaged object; and a lenslet array optically coupled to the motion sensor, the lenslet array comprising: a first lens optically coupled to the first optical sensor device and having a first optical axis aligned with a first imaging path directed towards the first portion of the imaged object; and a second lens optically coupled to the second optical sensor device and having a second optical axis aligned with a second imaging path directed towards the second portion of the imaged object, the second optical axis having a first angular displacement with reference to the first optical axis, wherein the first angular displacement is accommodated by mounting the second lens in a first tilted position with reference to the first lens; an imager configured to capture, substantially simultaneously during capture of the first and second images, a desired image of the imaged object, the desired image having a larger field of view than the fields of view corresponding to each of the first or the second images; and a processing device configured to receive motion information derived by the motion sensor from the first and the second images, and use the motion information to identify motion in two different portions of the imaged object for confirming that the motion occurred in the imaged object rather than in the imaging apparatus, during capture of the desired image by the imager.
