Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme eines von einer Hauptlinse einer Plenoptischen Kamera erzeugten Zwischenbilds und plenoptische Kamera

The device (100) has a micro-lens array (103) with multiple micro-lenses (107a to 107n) which are grouped in multiple micro-lens groups (105). Multiple pixel arrays (109) are arranged at a distance from each other. Each micro-lens is designed to form associated regions (111a to 111n) of an intermediate image (101) on a partial region of pixel arrays associated to micro-lens groups. The pixel arrays are laterally less extensive than the associated micro-lens groups. USE: Device for receiving an intermediate image generated by a main lens of a focused-type plenoptic camera (Claimed). ADVANTAGE: The device has a micro-lens array with multiple micro-lenses which are grouped in multiple micro-lens groups, where multiple pixel arrays are arranged at a distance from each other, and hence ensures an improved intermediate image receiving device with enhanced depth resolution and reduced minimum possible depth of focus, where manufacturing cost of the intermediate image receiving device is reduced. The drawing shows schematic sectional view of an intermediate image receiving device. 100 : Intermediate image receiving device 101 : Intermediate image 103 : Micro-lens array 105 : Micro-lens groups 107a to 107n : Micro-lenses 109 : Pixel arrays 111a to 111n : Associated regions
