Abstract:
An imaging device using a plurality of lenses according to the present disclosure includes: a compound eye through which a detected image is obtained by a plurality of lenses; a measurement matrix storage unit in which at least one measurement matrix is stored; and an image recovery unit configured to recover an image from the detected image using a digital signal processing technique using sparse representation using the measurement matrix. According to the present disclosure, an imaging device may be obtained which may improve the resolution of an image even while a wide undistorted FOV, an infinite depth, and fast motion recognition, which may be obtained using compound eyes, are achieved. Accordingly, discrimination of an object by the compound eyes may be improved, so that a human having camera-type eyes may acquire image information while advantages of the compound eyes are maximized.

Claim (Index 9):
An imaging device using a plurality of lenses, the imaging device comprising:\n at least several tens of lenses arranged such that an angle between the lenses is smaller than an acceptance angle of the lenses; at least several tens of photosensors configured to measure a quantity of light input to correspond to the several tens of lenses, respectively; a measurement matrix storage unit in which at least one measurement matrix is stored; and an image recovery unit configured to acquire a recovered image by using an equation, s ^ = arg \ue89e min s || S \ue89e || 1 \ue89e \ue89e subject \ue89e \ue89e to \ue89e || y - A \ue89e \ue89e \u03a8 \ue89e \ue89e s \ue89e || 2 2 \ue89e \u2264 \u025b wherein y denotes information on pixels measured by the at least several tens of photosensors, A denotes the measurement matrix, x denotes information on pixels of the recovered image, x=\u03a8s is satisfied when x denotes information on the pixels of the recovered image, \u03a8 is a sparsifying basis by which the information x on a light quantity of a pixel of the recovered image is estimated to have a small number of nonzero elements s, and \u03b5 is a threshold.
