Abstract
An image capture device includes a focusing lens, a light sensor array having a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix of rows and columns and a plurality of optical components. Each optical component is configured to focus light on a light-sensing portion of one of the pixels. The locations of the optical components define a grid of parallel and perpendicular lines and a line spacing of the grid varies as a function of a distance from an optical axis of the focusing lens.
