Claim One:
1. An X×Y sub-array module comprising: an X×Y arrangement of focal planes, wherein: X and Y are each greater than or equal to 1; each focal plane comprises a plurality of rows of pixels that also form a plurality of columns of pixels; and each focal plane does not include pixels from another focal plane; and an X×Y arrangement of lens stacks, the X×Y arrangement of lens stacks being disposed relative to the X×Y arrangement of focal planes so as to form an X×Y arrangement of cameras, each of which being configured to independently capture an image of a scene, wherein each lens stack has a field of view that is shifted with respect to the field-of-views of each other lens stack so that each shift includes a sub-pixel shifted view of the scene; and image data output circuitry that is configured to output image data from the X×Y sub-array module that can be aggregated with image data from other sub-array modules so that an image of the scene can be constructed.
