Abstract
A method to simultaneously generate and capture a plurality of blurred images utilizing a camera lens and a plurality of imaging sensors is described. A signal passes through a lens and is then split into a plurality of signal paths of different lengths using a signal splitting device. Since the physical distances between the lens and the plurality of imaging sensors are different, with different signal path lengths, a plurality of uniquely blurred images are captured by the plurality of imaging sensors. Utilizing the plurality of blurred images, computations are performed and blur differences are calculated. A depth map is then determined from the blur differences. With the depth map, a number of applications are possible.
