Two researchers from the University of California, Davis have created a camera that uses a microlens array and new image processing algorithms to capture 3D photos in a single exposure. Weijian Yang, Ph.D., and doctoral student Feng Tian say that because the camera is able to learn from existing data on how to digitally reconstruct a 3D scene it can produce these images in real-time…
