Abstract

An image capture device having a first integrated sensor lens assembly (ISLA), a second ISLA, and an image processor is disclosed. The first and second ISLAs may each include a respective optical element that have different depths of field. The first and second ISLAs may each include a respective image sensor configured to capture respective images. The image processor may be electrically coupled to the first ISLA and the second ISLA. The image processor may be configured to obtain a focused image based on a first image and a second image. The focused image may have an extended depth of field. The extended depth of field may be based on the depth of field of each respective optical element.
