Claim One:
1. A capture system operable to generate captured views of a scene, the captured views comprising information for generating at one intermediate view within a pixel disparity range defined by the captured views, T D , the system comprising: at least S number of optical modules, each of the optical module comprising: at least one imaging sensor; at least one lens configured to direct image light to the at least one imaging sensor to generate one of the captured views, thereby defining an effective focal length, F L ; wherein the S number of optical modules comprise at least S number of respective imaging sensors, S being an integer, and at least two of the at least S number or imaging sensors being defined on different substrates; wherein each of the at least S number of imaging sensors pairs with an adjacent imaging sensor to define a maximum effective disparity M D ; wherein S is greater than or equal to (T D /M D )+1, the ratio T D /M D being greater than 1; wherein M D is less than or equal to (D IA *P X * F L )/(S w *D MAX ), in which S w is an effective sensor width of the at least S number of image sensors, the S w being defined along a first direction; P X is an effective pixel resolution of the at least S number of image sensors along the first direction; D IA is an interaxial distance between optical centers of adjacent optical modules; and D MAX is a distance between a closest object in the scene and an optical center of an optical module closest to the closest object.
