Sony Patents Light Field Sensor with Full-Resolution 3D Stereo Output

Fig. 18 from the patent application is a diagram illustrating a CMOS image sensor in which pixels are arranged in a matrix of 2x2 and, for the second layer of pixels, rotated by 45 degrees for multiple perspectives output in the Bayer arrangement.

With today’s light field sensors, extracting 3D stereo images from light field recordings typically results in a lowered effective image resolution – but that limitation may soon be history: has developed a novel sensor … Continue reading Sony Patents Light Field Sensor with Full-Resolution 3D Stereo Output
