A practical enhanced-resolution integrated optical-digital imaging camera (PERIODIC)

An integrated array computational imaging system, dubbed PERIODIC, is presented which is capable of exploiting a diverse variety of optical information including sub-pixel displacements, phase, polarization, intensity, and wavelength. Several applications of this technology will be presented including digital superresolution, enhanced dynamic range and multi-spectral imaging. Other applications include polarization based dehazing, extended depth of field and 3D imaging. The optical hardware system and software algorithms are described, and sample results are shown.
