Multi-image capture system with improved depth image resolution

摘要

The multi-image capture system comprises an imaging lens 2, a beamsplitter 3 directing a first portion of light on an array 4 of micro-imaging elements 41 and a first photodetector array 5 divided into a plurality of macropixels 51 providing a set of depth images, and another portion of light on a second photodetector array 6 providing a main image with a resolution being higher than the resolution of each basic depth image. According to the invention, the resolution of the depth images is increased by using the image data of the main image.
