Abstract

See full text

A camera may have two or more image sensors, including a first image sensor and a second image sensor. The camera may have a main lens that directs incoming light along an optical path, and microlens array positioned within the optical path. The camera may also have two or more fiber optic bundles, including first and second fiber optic bundles with first and second leading ends, respectively. A first trailing end of the first fiber optic bundle may be positioned proximate the first image sensor, and a second trailing end of the second fiber optic bundle may be positioned proximate the second image sensor, displaced from the first trailing end by a gap. The leading ends may be positioned adjacent to each other within the optical path such that image data captured by the image sensors can be combined to define a single light-field image substantially unaffected by the gap.
