Abstract: Dense field imagers are disclosed which are configured to provide combined, aggregated, fused, and/or stitched light field data for a scene. A dense field imager can include a plurality of imaging elements configured to be joined into image blocks or facets that each provides light field data about a scene. The dense field imager can include a plurality of facets in a fixed or modular fashion such that the dense field imager is configured to combine, aggregate, fuse and/or stitch light field data from the plurality of facets. The facets can be mounted such that one or more facets are non-coplanar with other facets. The facets can be configured to provide a representation of the light field with overlapping fields of view. Accordingly, the dense field imager can provide dense field data over a field of view covered by the plurality of facets.

Abstract translation: 公开了密集场成像器，其被配置为为场景提供组合的，聚集的，融合的和/或缝合的光场数据。 致密场成像器可以包括多个成像元件，其被配置为连接到图像块或小平面中，每个图像块或小平面提供关于场景的光场数据。 致密场成像器可以以固定或模块化方式包括多个小面，使得致密场成像器被配置为组合，聚集，融合和/或缝合来自多个面的光场数据。 小平面可以被安装成使得一个或多个面与其它面不共面。 面可以被配置为提供具有重叠视场的光场的表示。 因此，致密场成像器可以在由多个面所覆盖的视场上提供致密的场数据。
