Claim One:
1. An imaging array, comprising: an array of imaging blocks, the array of imaging blocks comprising a first imaging block and a second imaging block, the first imaging block physically separate from and in electrical communication with a second imaging block, each respective imaging block of the first imaging block and the second image block comprising: a support; at least three imaging elements carried by the support, wherein each imaging element of the at least three imaging elements comprises a sensor comprising a plurality of pixels and a lens, and is positioned relative to the other imaging elements of the respective imaging block by the support; a mechanical connector configured to connect the respective imaging block into the array of imaging blocks, wherein the respective imaging block is movable relative to the array of imaging blocks such that the orientation of the respective imaging block can be modified relative to one or more other imaging blocks of the array of imaging blocks without changing the relative position of the at least three imaging elements of the respective imaging block relative to one another; and an electrical connector configured to electrically connect the respective imaging block into the array of imaging blocks; and an image processing system configurable to: using image data captured by the first imaging block, generate a first image data set representative of a first portion of a light field using image data captured by second imaging block, generate a second image data set representative of a second portion of the light field; and derive a third image data set from the first and second image data sets.
