Abstract: An adaptive 3D imaging system comprising an imaging part and a lens part detachably connected thereto; the imaging part comprising a sensor and a reflector configured to transmit a plurality of captured light field images to the sensor; wherein the lens part comprising a first camera lens positioned at a first end of the lens part, a second camera lens positioned at a second end of the lens part, an entrance pupil plane and matching device positioned between the first camera lens and the second camera lens and being adaptive to different focal lengths of the second camera lens, an internal reflection unit positioned between the first camera lens and the entrance pupil plane and matching device and configured to decompose the captured light field images and refract them into a plurality of multiple secondary images with different angular offsets. Methods and uses involving the 3D imaging system are included.
