An imaging system and a method of creating composite images are provided. The imaging system includes one or more lens assemblies coupled to a sensor. When reflected light from an object enters the imaging system, incident light on the metalens filter systems creates filtered light, which is turned into composite images by the corresponding sensors. Each metalens filter system focuses the light into a specific wavelength, creating the metalens images. The metalens images are sent to the processor, wherein the processor combines the metalens images into one or more composite images. The metalens images are combined into a composite image, and the composite image has reduced chromatic aberrations.

A novel class of imaging systems that combines diffractive optics with 1D line sensing is disclosed. When light passes through a diffraction grating or prism, it disperses as a function of wavelength. This property is exploited to recover 2D and 3D positions from line images.

The disclosure includes several extensions of the imaging system to improve the accuracy of the 2D position estimates and to expand the effective field-of-view. The invention is useful for fast passive imaging of sparse light sources, such as streetlamps, headlights at night and LED-based motion capture, and structured light 3D scanning with line illumination and line sensing.
