Claim One:
1. An array camera configuration, comprising: a constituent array camera comprising a plurality of cameras, where each camera comprises: optics that form an image on a focal plane defined by an array of pixels that capture image data; and have fields of view that form a combined field of view in a first viewing direction; a separate camera comprising: optics that form an image on a focal plane defined by an array of pixels that capture image data; and having a field of view in a second viewing direction; a processor; memory containing an image processing application and calibrated warp data; wherein the image processing application directs the processor to: obtain image data from the cameras in the constituent array camera; capture an image using the separate camera from a viewpoint; generate a depth map using the image data captured by the constituent array camera; synthesize an image using the image data captured by the constituent array camera and the depth map; and construct an enhanced image using the image captured by the separate camera, the synthesized image, and the depth map used to synthesize the synthesized image by: warping the synthesized image into the viewpoint of the image captured by the separate camera using the calibrated warp data and the depth map; and blending the synthesized image warped into the viewpoint of the image captured by the separate camera and the image captured by the separate camera to create the enhanced image.
