Abstract
Method and devices are disclosed for focusing on tilted image planes. For example, one imaging device includes an objective lens configured to focus a scene at an image plane, the scene having an object plane tilted relative to the objective lens plane and a sensor receive light from the objective lens, the sensor having a plurality of light sensing elements configured to generate image data based on the light received at the sensor. The imaging device also includes a processor and memory component configured to receive the image data, the image data indicative of a first image; receive a tilt parameter indicative of an orientation of a selected non-parallel image plane, and convert the image data to relative image data based on the tilt parameter, the relative image data indicative of a second image focused along the non-parallel image plane.
