This paper presents a unique array of 100 custom video cameras designed to explore the capabilities of a low-cost, flexible imaging system. The authors describe the design and implementation of the camera array, which consists of tightly packed cameras with telephone lenses and widely spaced cameras with wide-angle lenses. The array is capable of capturing high-resolution and high-speed video, as well as creating synthetic aperture images. The paper discusses the use of multiple cameras to approximate a conventional single-center projection video camera with enhanced performance in terms of resolution, dynamic range, frame rate, and aperture size. It also explores the creation of video light fields and the application of spatiotemporal view interpolation algorithms to simulate time dilation and camera motion. The authors detail the hardware components, system architecture, and results of various imaging applications, including high-resolution and high-speed video capture, spatiotemporal sampling, and synthetic aperture photography. The paper highlights the benefits of using large numbers of inexpensive cameras to achieve high-performance imaging and the potential for future advancements in camera array technology.This paper presents a unique array of 100 custom video cameras designed to explore the capabilities of a low-cost, flexible imaging system.
