Abstract

In one aspect, a color plenoptic imaging system captures a plenoptic image of an object. The plenoptic image is made up of a plurality of superpixels, and each superpixel includes a center subpixel. The collection of center subpixels from the plurality of superpixels forms a set of captured center view data for the object. The sensor array includes at least two arrays of different color sensors that capture subpixels of different colors. The microlens array and the sensor array are positioned such that, within the set of captured center view data, for each of the different colors, adjacent center subpixels of that color are separated by not more than three intervening center subpixels of a different color.
