Claim One:
1. An array camera configuration, comprising: at least two constituent array cameras, where each constituent array camera comprises: 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 for the constituent array camera; wherein each of the at least two constituent array cameras differ with respect to at least one of combined field of view and viewing direction; a processor; memory containing an image processing application and calibrated warp data; wherein the image processing application directs the processor to: for each of the at least two constituent array cameras: obtain image data from the cameras in the constituent array camera; generate a depth map using the image data captured by the cameras in the constituent array camera; and synthesize an image using the image data captured by the cameras in the constituent array camera and the depth map; construct an enhanced image using the image data obtained from the cameras in the at least two constituent array cameras by: warping at least a first of the synthesized images into a viewpoint of a second of the synthesized images using a depth map for the first of the synthesized images and calibrated warp data; and blending the at least a first of the synthesized images warped into the viewpoint of the second of the synthesized images and the second of the synthesized images to create the enhanced image.
