  • Imaging arrangements and methods therefor
    Patent number: 8953064
    Abstract: Image data is processed to facilitate focusing and/or optical correction. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, an imaging arrangement collects light data corresponding to light passing through a particular focal plane. The light data is collected using an approach that facilitates the determination of the direction from which various portions of the light incident upon a portion of the focal plane emanate from. Using this directional information in connection with value of the light as detected by photosensors, an image represented by the light is selectively focused and/or corrected.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 10, 2015
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University
    Inventors: Yi-Ren Ng, Patrick M. Hanrahan, Marc A. Levoy, Mark A. Horowitz
