Patent ID: 8358366

Claim:
A camera, comprising: an objective lens, wherein the objective lens is configured to refract light from a scene located in front of the camera to form an image of the scene at an image plane within the camera for an exposure duration determined by shutter speed of the camera; a reflective component configured to reflect the image of the scene at the image plane to generate a reflective image plane within the camera; a temporal modulation component configured to: receive light from the reflective image plane; modulate different portions of the received light in the temporal domain according to P periodic rates, wherein P is an integer greater than or equal to 2; and reflect the temporally modulated different portions of the light to form an image of the temporally modulated different portions of the light within the camera; and an image capture component comprising a photosensor configured to capture light projected onto the photosensor, wherein the image capture component is configured to project the image of the temporally modulated different portions of the light formed within the camera by the temporal modulation component onto the photosensor.
