Lenslet array systems are different from conventional, single aperture systems in that many, possibly somewhat dissimilar, apertures, each containing its own lens, are used. This may add some (mostly conceptual) complexity, but it allows for a great dea] of added flexibility. The availability of many independent optical channels offers many opportunities for optical information processing. One important possible class of applications for these systems are smart sensors -combining image acquisition with preliminary processing for maand efficient
