PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plenoptic otoscope enables three-dimensional and/or spectral imaging of the inside of the ear to assist in improved diagnosis of inflammations and infections.SOLUTION: The plenoptic otoscope comprises: a primary imaging system; and a plenoptic sensor. The primary imaging system comprises: an otoscope objective 320; and relay optics 330, which cooperate to form an image of an inside of an ear at an intermediate image plane. The plenoptic sensor includes a microimaging array positioned at the intermediate image plane and a sensor array 350 positioned at a conjugate of the pupil plane. An optional filter module may be positioned at the pupil plane or one of its multiple conjugates to achieve three-dimensional imaging function and/or spectral imaging function. |
