IMAGING METHOD WITH VARIABLE CODED APERTURE DEVICE AND APPARATUS USING THE METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: An imaging apparatus for using a variable encoding aperture apparatus capable of resizing the aperture by applying a convolution technology using the coded aperture is provided to obtain an image of high quality by compensating focus information and depth information. CONSTITUTION: A variable coding filter(21) permits the pass of the light for the specific domain of a pattern. The domain of a specific pattern is designed in a coded filter structure encoded by the filtering of the incident light of a subject. The incident light is imaged in a light receiving device in a modified state. An image processor obtains focus information and depth information from a convolution image signal from the light receiving device. The image processor performs the de-blurring of the image signal.
